Community School Expansion: More Services and Support for Students and Families

This act aims to expand the full-service community school program by providing increased funding and support. This will enable schools to offer a wider range of services, such as healthcare, after-school activities, and family support, to improve student outcomes and community well-being. Citizens can expect better access to diverse educational and social services within their local schools.
Key points
Increased Funding: The act authorizes a significant increase in funding for community school programs, from $500 million in 2024 to $1 billion in 2028, enabling the development and sustainability of these facilities.
Student and Family Support: Community schools will offer integrated support, including medical, psychological, housing assistance, after-school activities, and adult programs like English language learning or computer skills.
Strengthened Local Collaboration: The act promotes the creation of school-based and community-wide leadership teams, comprising parents, educators, residents, and organizations, to collaboratively plan and implement initiatives for students and their families.
Priority for High-Need Areas: Grants will prioritize schools and educational agencies in high-poverty areas, rural areas, and Tribal communities, ensuring support is directed where it is most needed.
