Leveraging Federal Funds to Develop Community Partnerships: A Step by Step Guide

Is your school (or district) feeling overburdened by capacity challenges? Do your students have needs for programming and support you are having trouble being able to offer? This workshop will help you consider the possibilities for engaging with community-based organizations to offer specialized programming and additional support for students. It will present a practical, hands-on guide and show what is possible and how this collaboration can be part of a comprehensive school improvement plan. Participants will learn how to leverage federal funds and use them in partnership with other funding sources to collaborate with community organizations and implement needed programs, with an emphasis on Title I schools. These partnerships can not only help students, they can relieve the burden on staff, thus supporting teacher retention efforts.
