The community schools strategy in New Mexico aims to create thriving learning environments for all students. Community schools prioritize students’ well-being, sense of belonging, and active engagement in school, as well as their academic achievement. They also seek to be vital community hubs supporting families and the broader community with resources and opportunities. Each of these priorities rests heavily on the principle of respect for the ideas and values of students, families, and community partners. Collaborative leadership and practices enhance the voice and power of the community’s multiple interests and sectors.
