In 2001, the Cincinnati city school district (CPS) adopted a policy that all schools will engage their communities in improving student achievement: “As centers in the community, the schools and their partners should foster strong collaboration, set high expectations, embrace diversity, and share accountability for results.” Over ten years later, CPS Community Learning Centers act as hubs for community services, providing access for students and families to health, safety and social services, as well as recreational, educational, and cultural opportunities.
