The Coalition for Community Schools is a national alliance of more than 170 organizations that advocate for community schools. A founding member of the Coalition, Children’s Aid, started its first community school in New York City in 1992. Widespread interest in the initiative has led to more than 7,500 community schools nationwide.
Coalition for Community Schools
For the current 117th Congressional session, the Coalition co-developed with our partners a federal policy agenda that guides our federal advocacy.
Coalition for Community Schools
This policy agenda is the Institute for Educational Leadership’s inaugural Policy by the People agenda, which reflects the direct input via surveys and focus groups of hundreds of leaders across IEL’s networks that we engaged in 2020. These leaders span the roles of parents/family, youth age 18 and under, district leaders, nonprofit leaders, state and local government representatives, people with disabilities, and elected officials across dozens of communities in the United States.
