Abstract: There are many community schools now in planning or construction, and educational planners expect more in the future. As it becomes increasingly common for schools to reach out into the community and invite partnerships, the old attitudes that kept schools separate from their communities will be replaced by a concept of compatibility--that schools and communities have much to gain from one another. This publication details the procedures that will enable school districts to initiate and develop their own community schools. It discusses financing, planning, building, staffing, and operating facilities that are shared by schools, health services, parks and recreation, day care centers, senior citizens' services, and legal aid.
