What is School and Community Partnerships

A school-community partnership involves "the connections between
schools and community individuals, organizations, and businesses
that are forged to promote students' social, emotional, physical, and
intellectual development" (Saunders, 2001).

Why do we need Community Partnerships in our Schools?

- “It takes a village to educate a child”
Schools are being held accountable for students learning and what they know.
However, schools cannot do this alone. This is where school and community
partnerships come into play. In these different partnerships students are given the best
opportunities to succeed in school because the community can sometimes provide resources
that schools cannot really afford to provide. In a personal interview with Mr. Bob
Cartwright, he said that, "in tight monetary times, the financial advantages to the school are
apparent" (B. Cartwright, personal communication, September 30, 2008).
