Coalition for Community Schools’ 10th National Forum (April/May 2008)

Have you noticed the expanding “community schools” movement yet (which enjoys the support of educators, families, politicians, community activists, and business people)?  Its growing influence and evidence of positive results for children and their community can be experienced first-hand at the Coalition for Community Schools’ 10th National Forum, in Portland, OR, April 30—May 2, 2008.  The CCS is staffed by and housed at IEL, and to learn more about the event, visit their Web site at:  http://communityschools.org/.  The last Forum was a sell-out, so be sure to register now to secure a spot and the best price possible.
