Luis Torres & Lida Casper | Community Schools, School Partnerships, Community Engagement, School Resources

This week, we are delving deeper into the concept of community schools! Hayley Spira-Bauer is joined by Luis Torres, the Principal of South Bronx, and Lida Casper, the Coordinator of Community Partnerships for Rochester, MN Public Schools, to shed some light on what defines a community school.

We discuss the significance of resource matching and public involvement, and Luis and Lida share their experiences as community school leaders. They also reveal how a "hustle mentality" plays a crucial role in advocating for their students.
