Strategic Area of Focus:

Engaged Community and Youth

Schools will:

5.1. Share community data and concerns with school district and civic leaders and collectively develop resources and partnerships to support the shared vision of the school.

5.2. Build students' and community members' capacity to exercise leadership and participate in decision-making that affects the school and community.

5.3. Ensure all students have equal access to quality resources and educational opportunities.

5.4. Engage with education leaders to articulate a shared vision for all high-school-aged youth.

5.5 Communicate data on community needs and concerns to education leaders.

5.6. Organize and build community capacity - particularly within low-income, minority populations that have been traditionally marginalized in civic and school affairs - to assume a more formal role as active and knowledgeable participants in the process of improving outcomes for all high-school-age youth.

5.7 Organize and build youth capacity to exercise leadership and participate in decision-making that affects their schools and communities.
