California has approved another $45 million for community schools across the state — the latest phase of a $4.1 billion initiative to expand education, health and social services for students and their families.
Once all $4.1 billion has been rolled out, California is hoping one in every three schools will become a community school. For Bayshore, that means expanding the school’s focus on mental health support, especially as the community continues rebuilding from the pandemic. For Cabrillo Unified School District in Half Moon Bay, that will mean expanding the district’s Community Hub initiative, and bringing partners directly into the classroom to provide services like college and career readiness programs.
