- The need for schools and community-based organizations to effectively partner so students can experience more learning but not more of the same.
- The need to leverage the power of communities to bring additional talented, caring, and committed adults into our schools and supporting our youth
- The need to ensure that afterschool or extended supports meet the needs and demands of individual students and don't force families and youth into programs they don't want or need.
- The need to look creatively at funding sources, both public and private, so that schools and CBOs can weave together dollars and programs that reach every student
- The need to continue driving school improvement through high-quality support programs, and ensuring that student performance data is shared with all partners toward that end.
