Community Schools Partnership (CSP)
Our mission is to disrupt inequities and break the cycle of poverty by leveraging assets to transform schools into "hubs" of the community. With authentic collaborative leadership at the center, we believe students, staff, families, and communities are essential partners to ensure all are seen, valued and supported.
The unprecedented partnership among LECS, LACOE, county agencies, school districts, and community-based organizations has enriched the lives of more than 250,000 students and their families across L.A. County.
LECS is proud to be a partner in leading the way in strengthening school communities to create a more equitable, socially just system where all students, families, and staff are empowered and thrive.
Many students face challenging life experiences that can impact their ability to learn. But what if there was a way to customize the learning and student supports at a school to truly create the conditions they need to learn, grow and succeed?
Schools that implement a Community Schools learning model work to identify what barriers students are facing, collaborate with community partners to leverage resources, and ultimately improve the academic, emotional and physical well-being of students within their communities.
Each school is unique to the community it serves. By incorporating specific strategies, schools are transformed into a community hub providing services and resources to meet the needs of students, families and the community.
