Community Support
Could stronger community support help your school?
A school is a core pillar of any community. It is a central source of connection between families and the future of their kids and community. Still, many schools struggle to engage their broader community, winning support for school projects. There are many stakeholders to win over and many voices to bring into the process. Do you have a plan for approaching your community?
