Description

This volume summarizes the community school experiences of the Children's Aid Society and Beacons in New York City and other places; university assisted models in Philadelphia; school system generated community schools in Chicago; communitywide councils in Evansville, Indiana, and Portland, Oregon; and Boston's Full Service Schools Roundtable.

The efforts of the Public Education Network to build public will for collaboration and California's statewide Healthy Start Initiative show how it is possible to expand the concepts over larger areas, and the Coalition for Community Schools provides the rationale for national community school legislation.

This is the 107th volume of the Jossey Bass quarterly report series "New Directions for Youth Development".
