The Los Angeles Unified School District received more than $44 million in state grant funds aimed at bolstering educational programs at traditionally under-resourced community school campuses.
According to the district, community schools contribute significantly to higher graduation rates and help close the racial equity gap.
"Unfortunately, schools in communities with high rates of poverty, homelessness, and food insecurity lack the funds to address student mental health issues, improve wellness, and support learning recovery,'' state Board of Education President Linda Darling-Hammond said in a statement."That's why this program is so exciting.
The state Board of Education awarded $649 million to districts and schools across the state as part of a 7-year, $3 billion Community Schools Partnership Program.
