2.  Vision: The Coalition for Community Schools believes that strong communities require strong schools and strong schools require strong communities. We envision a future in which schools are centers of thriving communities where everyone belongs, works together, and succeeds.  Mission: The Coalition advances opportunities for the success of children, families and communities by promoting the development of more, and more effective, community schools. www.communityschools.org2

3.  A community school is both a place and a set of partnerships between the school and other community resources. It provides academics, health and social services, youth and community development, and community engagement, and brings together many partners to offer a range of support and opportunities for children, youth, families, and communities. The school is generally open for extended hours for everyone in the community. Community schools may operate in all or a subset of schools in an LEA. ( Title I Guidelines, U.S. Department of Education, Sept. 2, 2009 )

4.  Foster strong partnerships  Share accountability for results  Align school and community assets and expertise  Set high expectations for all  Build on the community's strengths  Embrace diversity www.communityschools.org4

In Massachusetts, SBHC users had a 50% decrease in absenteeism and 25% decrease in tardiness two months after receiving school-based mental health and counseling In North Carolina, African-American male SBHC users were three times more likely to stay in school than their peers who did not use the clinic. A Dallas SBHC demonstrated that medical services helped decrease absences by 50% among students who had three or more absences in a six-week period ◦ Students who received mental health services had an 85% decline in school discipline referrals

21. “We are thrilled that part of the [health reform] legislation calls for an expanded footprint of school-based health clinics … I can’t think of a better way to deliver primary care and preventive care to not only students but their families than through school-based clinics. So the Secretary of Education and I have already talked about how we’re going to leverage that money, how widely we can expand that foot print, and how quickly we can get it done.” --HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, 2010 National Forum on Community Schools, April 7, 2010.
