Schools aren’t just for kids. Neighborhood schools contribute to a livable
community for all, providing a gathering place and focal point for families and
neighbors, along with a sense of historic continuity. Despite great strides,
many state and local policies still discourage the rehabilitation and continued
use of older neighborhood schools. Learn how you can help change those
policies. Hear about the latest resources developed through a national effort to
increase the sustainability of these valuable community assets.
