What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires the Department of Public Instruction to create a community school start-up grant program under which DPI awards competitive grants to school boards to plan and implement community schools. The bill defines a “community school” as a public school that focuses on improving pupil learning, strengthening families, developing healthier communities, working with community partners to provide additional services to the surrounding community, and providing wraparound support services to pupils and their families. “Community school” does not include independent charter schools or charter schools that are not an instrumentality of a school district.
The bill requires that, under the community school start-up grant program, DPI must allocate portions of the program funding to establishing community schools in rural school districts, to establishing community schools in high-poverty school districts, and to transforming low-performing schools into community schools. The bill also requires an applicant for a community school start-up grant to demonstrate that the applicant has secured matching funds for the grant and to identify a school resource coordinator who will coordinate school programming. An applicant for a community school start-up grant must also describe the types of programming the school will provide to improve pupil learning, strengthen families, and develop a healthier community. A community school start-up grant is for a five-year term and may be renewed for additional five-year periods.
