Resource: $63 Million to Expand Community Schools and Increase Social, Emotional, Mental Health, and Academic Support for Students, Educators, and Families

ED announced $63 million in new five-year Full-Service Community Schools (FSCS) grants to support 42 local educational agencies, non-profits, or other public or private organizations and institutions of higher education working to expand existing community schools or establish new programs in eight new states and territories. 

The Administration is committed to supporting the adoption of community school models across the country, which provide comprehensive, integrated supports to students, their families, and their communities. Community schools meet the unique needs of the neighborhoods they serve by leveraging local non-profit, private sector, and agency partnerships to bring services into school buildings (e.g., high-quality tutoring, health, mental health and nutrition services, and high-quality early learning programs for students and the community).
