Board hears overview of community schools model and four pillars
Summary
Hanna Drennen and others described the community schools approach — emphasizing expanded learning time, integrated student supports, collaborative leadership, and family/community engagement — as a holistic strategy for supporting students.
Hanna Drennen presented a report on community schools, describing the model as a holistic, student-centered approach that integrates academics with health and social services, youth development and strong family engagement. The presentation outlined four pillars: expanded learning time and opportunities; integrated student supports; collaborative leadership and practices; and active family and community engagement.
Drennen said the model aims to align identity, structure, learning and readiness to meet student needs; several board members and staff attended a continuing conversation on community schools and shared ideas. The board received the report as informational; no action was taken at the meeting.
