Community schools provide strategic support to students, facilitating an engaging and wholesome learning environment that focuses not just on academics, but also on health services and family engagement. The comprehensive services offered by community schools fuels student growth, resulting in significantly improved outcomes.

The proof is in the Union School District, where a robust community school program has contributed to marked improvements in both academic performance and graduation rates. We assert that statewide legislation enabling community schools would vastly improve the educational landscape throughout Oklahoma. 

We implore the Oklahoma Legislature to recognize the undeniable success of community school programs and to pass the necessary enabling legislation to bring community school programs to all corners of our state.

Please stand with us and sign this petition to urge the Oklahoma Legislature to pass enabling legislation for a statewide community school program.
