Community Schools Study Tour: The Coalition held two of its three anticipated study tours of high-performing community school initiatives this year. The first study tour was held in Portland in February highlighting the Schools Uniting Neighborhoods (SUN) Community School Initiative. The other study tour was held in Cincinnati at two of its Community Learning Centers. These tours were attended by mayors, city council members, school superintendents and school board members, and dozens other policymakers and local leaders. Check out video from Portland and Cincinnati.
