This report is required by California Education Code Section 8902(n), which requires the State Superintendent of Public Instruction to provide an annual formative evaluation of the California Community Schools Partnership Program (CCSPP) to the Governor and the Legislature. The report includes information on outcome data, services provided, areas of progress, challenges, best practices, and sustainability strategies to meet school improvement goals.
The CCSPP is a “whole child” approach that is based on collaboration between school staff, families, and community partners to help address the trauma and loss of learning that have resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic. The CCSPP emphasizes the Four Pillars of Community Schools: integrated support services, family and community engagement, collaborative leadership, and extended learning opportunities.
In 2020, the California Legislature allocated $45 million in Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) to support existing community schools. In 2021 and 2022, the State Legislature allocated $4.1 billion to support new and existing community schools.
The following report is the second annual CCSPP formative evaluation informed by three documents: two University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) reports and a research evaluation plan by the CDE external evaluator, the Human Resources Research Organization (HumRRO).
This report details the CCSPP statewide implementation and the technical assistance system for over 2,000 CCSPP school site grantees. The report describes the breadth and depth of statewide implementation at the school and local educational agency (LEA) levels and describes the comprehensive technical assistance system.
Overall, this report underscores the significance of community schools as an effective school transformation strategy. The enthusiasm with which these community schools’ strategies have been embraced highlights the need for continuous support.
