About Strategic Community Partnerships
Strategic Community Partnerships occur when interest-holders develop a shared understanding and commitment to the goals and expectations of the community schools strategy, and fully commit to the strategy. They can then work together towards realizing their common vision. Shared understanding and commitment promotes collaboration, support for change, transparency and democratic values.
