Ensure Your School-Community Partnerships Are Valued as Keys to Success
The San Francisco Unified School District has a new 5-year Strategic Plan that any CBO working with the public schools should read and become familiar with. This year SFUSD is asking each principal and School Site Council (SSC) to identify goals for their students and families in the 2009-2010 school year and create a roadmap for achieving those goals. This new set of goals and roadmap is referred to as the school’s “Balanced Scorecard”. Community partnerships and the many services that CBOs deliver to SFUSD students—whether those services and programs take place on the school campus or not—need to be involved in this process of identifying goals, strategies, and measures of success for each school site. Community partners and CBOs play a critical role in the lives of SFUSD students and families. Act now to get involved in the SSC at schools you serve and ensure these partnerships are integrated into this important new planning process.
The Partnerships Committee and others have shared some examples of how CBOs can align themselves to the SFUSD’s new strategic plan:
