The School/Community Programs Department provides a vehicle through which our schools -- staff and teachers, K-12 -- and our community work together to accomplish four goals:

share resources to strengthen our schools� programs
improve student achievement for all students
better prepare our students for the world of work
enhance our community's economic growth.

Scope and Content

The School/Community Programs Department serves to enhance the education of Columbia students K-12 by developing and coordinating educational partnerships involving the entire Columbia Public Schools system and the Columbia community.

business-education partnerships
partnership friends
school-based volunteer programs
foster grandparents
and additional direct and indirect services for students and staff.
