We had the privilege of traveling to the International Academy of Flint, the second in the Community Schools Road Trip series organized by the Michigan Coalition of Community Schools. Seeing community schools in action and collaborating with other practitioners is always a treat! Our very own Dr. King also presented with fellow MCCS member, Angela Brigham, of Ottawa Community Schools Network. Huge thanks to the IAF staff and students, and to the Flint Center for Educational Excellence for all the planning and hospitality! #CommunitySchools

This month marked an important milestone as we embarked on a highly successful site visit to the International Academy of Flint, in collaboration with the Michigan Community School Coalition. This visit was not only an opportunity to bridge the gap but also served as a warm invitation for a deeper understanding of our school sites' inner workings and the collective impact we can make on the lives of our children. Throughout the day, participants were immersed in a rich tapestry of experiences, including enlightening tours of the community school spaces, engaging discussion panels, and interactive workshops and learning sessions. Each facet of the event was meticulously crafted to provide insights into the essence of the Community School model, fostering meaningful connections and a shared vision for our educational community.
