The program, made possible through funding from the St. Louis Community Development Agency and the St. Louis Board of Education, is presently implemented from eleven public elementary schools throughout the City. 1978 will find three more community schools added; Hamilton, Williams and Shaw.
The Community Schools, the vehicle for implementation of the community education concept, are operational from 3:30 – 9:00 P.M., Mondays through Thursdays, year around, with programs geared to the needs of the total community which they serve, boys and girls, men and women. In simplest terms, the Community School involves the use of public school buildings for total community service after school and evening hours for tutoring of students, recreation, adults education, vocational training, enrichment courses, community forums, discussion groups.
