On March 16, 2026, Central Coast CCSPP representatives and educators from across California gathered for a Community Schools site visit hosted by Whittier City School District (WCSD), offering a powerful opportunity to see the Community Schools strategy in action.


The day began with networking and a welcome from district leadership, including Superintendent Dr. Brad Mason and members of the executive team, who shared insights into WCSD’s community schools journey and the systems that support their work.


Attendees then visited Sorensen Elementary and Orange Grove Elementary, where school leaders, community school coordinators, and partners provided overviews of their site-based implementation. Each visit highlighted strong collaborative leadership, integrated supports, and a deep commitment to authentic family and student engagement. Participants heard directly from Parent Ambassador Leadership (PAL) members, educators, and students, whose voices reflected the impact of inclusive practices and shared decision-making.


A key highlight of the visits was the emphasis on elevating family and student voice. At both sites, panels and presentations showcased how families and students are engaged as active partners in shaping school culture and programs. These examples brought to life the core principles of the Community Schools Framework, demonstrating how intentional structures and relationships contribute to positive outcomes for students and communities.

The day concluded with a debriefing session, during which participants reflected on key takeaways, completed feedback surveys, and discussed how lessons learned could inform their own community school efforts. Overall, the visit provided meaningful insights and inspiration for strengthening implementation, deepening partnerships, and advancing community school strategies across participating regions.


A big thank you to the Whittier City Elementary School District team for providing this learning opportunity!

Glen Speck Elementary is SLO County

New things happening thanks to CCSPP

This year, Glen Speck Elementary School, a California Community Schools Partnership Program (CCSPP) Cohort 3 grantee, launched a new partnership with Cal Poly Learning Design & Technology. As part of this collaboration, a group from Cal Poly visited the school to perform a vibrant lion dance for Glen Speck students, creating a fun and engaging experience that students truly loved. The performance brought energy, movement, music, and excitement to campus, giving students a memorable opportunity to connect with college students and experience something special during the school day. Many students were excited to watch the performers and learn about the tradition behind the performance, making the event both inspiring and enjoyable for the entire school community.


The lion dance is a traditional cultural performance commonly associated with celebrations such as Lunar New Year. In many Chinese and East Asian communities, the lion dance symbolizes good luck, prosperity, and the driving away of negative energy to welcome a new year filled with positivity and success. The dance typically features colorful lion costumes operated by performers who bring the lion to life through coordinated movement, drums, and cymbals.

Historically, the tradition has been used during festivals, important celebrations, and community gatherings to unite people, celebrate culture, and honor heritage. Sharing this cultural performance with students provided an opportunity to celebrate diversity and deepen appreciation for cultural traditions practiced by communities around the world.


This partnership also reflects several overarching values and cornerstone commitments of the California Community Schools Partnership Program. Experiences like this help create racially-just, relationship-centered spaces by fostering trust, inclusivity, and a sense of belonging as students see diverse cultures celebrated within their school community. The partnership also demonstrates shared power, as community schools intentionally collaborate with external partners like Cal Poly to co-create opportunities that benefit students and strengthen connections between schools and the broader community. Additionally, the performance highlights classroom–community connections by bringing culturally relevant, real-world experiences directly onto campus, helping students see how learning and cultural traditions extend beyond the classroom. By engaging with local university partners, Glen Speck Elementary continues to expand meaningful opportunities for students while strengthening the relationships that are central to the community schools model and the CCSPP pillars of Expanded and Enriched Learning Opportunities and Collaborative Leadership and Practices.

Glen Speck Elementary has implemented a series of successful Family Art Night events that are intentionally aligned to literacy-focused themes from books students and families are reading at home. These events reflect key CCSPP principles by fostering meaningful family engagement, strengthening the home–school connection, and creating inclusive opportunities for families to actively participate in their students’ learning.





Mr. Brannon Larson, 4th-grade teacher and CCSPP Advisory Council member, and Ms. Sanda Varreras, Activity Director, have partnered to strengthen Glen Speck’s Student Leadership Team by providing students with opportunities to develop leadership skills, represent their peers, and help shape school activities and culture.



Glen Speck Elementary students from the Folkloriko Club recently performed at the Black History Month celebration at Paso Robles High School, bringing their traditional dances to a wider community audience. This performance allowed students to share their cultural heritage, build confidence, and see their talents celebrated beyond their own school. It also reflects the California Community Schools Partnership Program’s focus on relationship-centered, racially-just spaces and classroom–community connections, giving students a meaningful role in representing their culture and contributing to an inclusive, community-wide celebration.

Servingness Conference: Strengthening Connections

from K–12 to Higher Education

The Servingness Conference emerged as a living example of what becomes possible when institutions choose to learn together. It was not simply coordinated, but co-created through the partnership of the Ventura County Office of Education (VCOE), South Oxnard Community School site coordinators, and Oxnard College. Guided by the leadership of VCOE Community Schools Coordinator Cynthia Salas, the effort cultivated a shared space where educators and community partners could deepen their collective understanding, strengthen relationships, and engage in reflective practice that moves systems toward greater coherence and possibility.


Servingness is a framework that describes how colleges and universities, particularly Hispanic-Serving Institutions, move beyond enrolling minoritized students to intentionally transforming their culture, policies, and practices. It centers equity, belonging, and success by affirming students’ cultural identities and strengths, while using intentional supports and a race-conscious approach to create more equitable outcomes for historically underserved students. This approach aligns with community schools work, which similarly emphasizes asset-based practices, inclusive environments, and coordinated supports to ensure students and families are seen, valued, and able to thrive. The vision for this conference was grounded in a shared recognition: alignment across K–12 and higher education is not a technical task, but a relational and systemic commitment. When we begin to see the educational journey as a continuous system rather than a set of disconnected experiences, it becomes clear that our responsibility is not only to prepare students, but to examine and reshape the conditions they encounter along the way.

Removing barriers, in this sense, requires both awareness and collective will. Throughout the day, participants engaged in a process of shared inquiry with speakers who invited reflection on what it truly means to design student-centered systems. Rather than offering isolated strategies, the conference created space for educators and community partners to surface assumptions, deepen their understanding, and consider how their daily practices either reinforce or interrupt inequities.

Dr. Maldonado and Dr. Selene Benavides-Black introduced the concept of servingness, building on the work of Dr. Gina Garcia. Their session encouraged participants to look beyond intentions and examine the lived experiences of students, particularly how systemic microaggressions can accumulate and shape students’ pathways through education. This work called for a shift from awareness to intentional action, grounded in a deeper understanding of equity and belonging.


Manuel Colón, representing Inflexion, expanded the conversation by situating this work within the Community Schools Framework. His overview emphasized that supporting the whole child requires coherence across systems, integrating academic, social, and community-based supports in ways that are both intentional and responsive. The framework served as a reminder that transformation happens when structures align with values.

Equally important was the recognition that this work depends on cultivating “discussion capital” among students, families, and communities—the capacity to engage in meaningful dialogue, name and validate lived experiences, and actively shape the systems that serve them. This goes beyond participation; it requires creating the conditions for trust, voice, and shared understanding, where individuals feel both empowered and equipped to contribute to decision-making. As this form of capital grows, it strengthens relationships, deepens collective ownership, and enhances the system’s ability to learn, adapt, and respond in ways that are more equitable, inclusive, and grounded in the realities of the community.

The conference concluded with two powerful sessions led by Dr. David G. Garcia and Dr. Tara J. Yosso, who extended the dialogue by examining the enduring patterns of systemic oppression and bias within education. Their contributions reinforced a central tension: meaningful change is not achieved through isolated efforts, but through sustained, collective reflection and action.


In this way, the conference itself became part of an ongoing learning journey, one that challenges us to continuously rethink how we serve students and communities. Overall, the conference became a shared learning experience, one that invited participants not only to gather insights, but to reflect on the systems they are part of and help shape. What emerged was not just a set of takeaways, but a deeper awareness of our collective responsibility: to surface and dismantle patterns that sustain inequities, and to intentionally design more inclusive, supportive pathways where all students can thrive.

the development of the Servingness Framework.



Resources of the Month:

Tools to Strengthen Collaborative Leadership

and Communication



RTAC hosted sessions with the Scholar System team. Over the course of seven months, CCSPP grantees participated in a series of virtual learning sessions focused on key topics such as collaboration, deficit-based thinking in leadership, implicit bias, growth mindset, and emotional intelligence. This learning has supported the development of the mindsets and conditions necessary for effective Community Schools implementation, emphasizing reflection, relationship-building, and a shift toward asset-based approaches. These focus areas align closely with the CCSPP framework, particularly in strengthening shared leadership, fostering authentic family and community engagement, and building a positive, inclusive school culture.


Presentation decks and optional resources can be found here.




STAC Digital Commons: Collaborative Leadership Resources. Collaborative leadership is when interest-holders come together to identify collective priorities (through a needs and assets assessment), it fosters shared focus on those areas deemed most critical by local communities, influences the impact of the strategy, and helps build momentum to sustain efforts over time.






From Silos to Systems: Strengthening Support for Students Experiencing Homelessness

At this year’s Homeless Education Conference in San Diego, CA, the Monterey County CCSPP Coordination grant team had the opportunity to present at a session on a powerful topic: "From Silos to Systems: Strengthening Support for Students Experiencing Homelessness." At its core, the session was about something we see every day, that we can show up for students and families in a much deeper, more meaningful way when we move together.


This presentation was a true collaboration among the team, along with Donna Smith, Herminia Cervantes, Yvette Ramos, and Julio Castro. It felt really special to share not just ideas but real examples of what this work looks like across our districts and communities.

The presentation discussed the shift from working in silos to building systems that actually talk to each other, support each other, and, most importantly, wrap around students in a seamless way. The truth is, so much good work is already happening at sites and within programs, sometimes it just has a different name. When we take the time to connect those efforts, whether it’s Community Schools, McKinney Vento, Wellness Centers, or community partners, we start to see the bigger picture come together.


One of the most powerful parts of the session was hearing district leaders share how they are doing this in real time. From building stronger connections across departments to partnering with community-based organizations for housing, mental health, and basic needs, there was a clear theme: relationships are everything. Not just between programs, but between people. When there is trust and alignment, the work flows differently, and students feel that.


The session also reflected on how creating intentional spaces for collaboration, like cross-team meetings, shared planning, and integrated support structures, helps ensure that students experiencing homelessness are not navigating systems alone. Instead, they are met with a network that already knows how to show up for them.


The session was such a beautiful reminder that this work is not about starting from scratch. It is about recognizing the strengths that already exist, bringing people together, and building something stronger together.




Student and Community Voice

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Summit in Anaheim, CA.

On March 19–21, students, educators, and community leaders from across the country gathered in Anaheim for the Student and Community Voice AI Summit, a national convening focused on how artificial intelligence is shaping teaching, learning, and student agency. The summit brought together hundreds of participants to explore how AI can support deeper learning, creativity, and equity—while keeping student voice at the center of decision-making.


The event began with a site visit to Magnolia High School in the Anaheim Union High School District (AUHSD), where participants observed AI in action and engaged directly with students and educators about their real-world classroom experiences. One highlight included an advanced theater class where students used the Gemini AI feature to generate impromptu scripts in real time, allowing them to focus more deeply on performance, improvisation, and collaboration.


At Magnolia High School, AI integration is intentionally aligned with deeper learning goals, emphasizing the 5Cs —collaboration, communication, critical thinking, creativity, and compassion. Rather than replacing instruction, AI is used as a tool to amplify student voice, creativity, and engagement.


Through its partnership with districts, the eKadence Learning Foundation supports this work by providing teacher-designed AI tools, professional learning, and implementation strategies that help educators integrate AI in ways aligned with instruction and responsive to student needs. This work is part of a broader district effort, developed in partnership with eKadence and supported by research from UC Irvine, to ensure AI implementation remains teacher-led and student-centered. Overall, the site visit highlighted how AI can be thoughtfully integrated to support whole-child development, meaningful learning experiences, and preparation for future college and career pathways.

Throughout the summit, attendees participated in keynote sessions, breakout workshops, and student-led panels that explored topics such as AI ethics, instructional applications, and the role of AI in supporting student well-being. A central theme of the event emphasized that while AI continues to evolve, human relationships and student voice remain essential in shaping its use in schools.


A highlight of the summit was the inaugural AI K–12 Student Agency Awards, which recognized school districts that are thoughtfully integrating AI while intentionally centering student voice, agency, and community impact. These awards celebrate districts that are not only adopting innovative technologies but also doing so in ways that empower students as active participants in their learning, encouraging them to think critically, create, collaborate, and apply their knowledge to real-world contexts. Honorees demonstrated how AI can be leveraged to expand opportunities, elevate student leadership, and strengthen connections between instruction and authentic community experiences, setting a strong example for responsible and student-centered AI implementation.


Overall, the summit provided a powerful space for shared learning and reflection, bringing together students, educators, and community partners to explore the evolving role of AI in education. It reinforced the importance of intentionally designing AI implementation in ways that elevate student voice, promote equity, and ensure access for all learners. Participants left with a deeper understanding of how AI can be used not just as a tool, but as a means to strengthen meaningful connections between instruction, student engagement, and real-world outcomes, ultimately preparing students for future college, career, and life opportunities.
