The Allentown School District Fourth largest district in Pennsylvania, 22 schools,18,000 students Lehigh Valley’s changing demographics and impact on the city of Allentown Snapshot of academic performance, forward motion and challenges Barriers to progress: lack of coordinated supports for students & their families and inconsistent communication links

Genuine Positive Results: Three ASD Community Schools Contribution to academic progress Dozens of examples…improved parent engagement Community School Coordinators as trusted relationship managers Authentic community engagement and investment in student success and neighborhood improvement

Local Government Leadership for Community Schools Presented by: Lolenzo T. Poe, Jr., Senior Policy Advisor to Chair of the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners Multnomah County, Oregon 12

Multnomah County, Department of County Human Services 53 SUN Community School sites across 6 school districts This represents about 1/3 of the County’s schools Our initiative is a partnership between Multnomah County, the City of Portland, School Districts, Non-Profit Organizations and business SUN Community Schools are part of a larger coordinated system of comprehensive services delivered countywide called the SUN Service System

Why Community Schools in Multnomah County Community Schools is one of the key priorities of the County Chair and is an important anti-poverty strategy None of us can do it alone - SUN is about bringing together all important entities that need to work together to ensure success of all of our children and families; sharing this work makes it stronger

Expansion of Community Schools 3 elements of “expansion” over the past 3 years: Partnership Development & Joint Ownership Every School a Community School Statewide Initiative

Challenges the SUN Initiative Has Faced Funding Politics Ownership
