California Community Schools Partnership Program

California Community Schools Partnership Program (CCSPP)

The San Luis Obispo County Office of Education (SLOCOE) is proud to partner with schools in our region through the California Community Schools Partnership Program (CCSPP) grant. This statewide initiative helps schools become hubs of opportunity, connection, and support for students, families, and the broader community.

Community schools bring together academics, health and social services, youth development, and family engagement to ensure every student has what they need to thrive.

Our Community Schools

Two schools in San Luis Obispo County are currently participating in the Community Schools Grant:

• Lilian Larsen Elementary School (San Miguel Joint Unified School District)
• Glen Speck Elementary School (Paso Robles Joint Unified School District)

Goals in San Luis Obispo County

• Strengthen family engagement and leadership opportunities.
• Expand access to wellness, behavioral health, and social-emotional supports.
• Build partnerships with community organizations to enhance student learning.
• Ensure every child has the academic and non-academic support they need.

What Community Schools Provide

Community Schools are built on four pillars:

• Integrated Student Supports – Services such as mental health, nutrition, and family resources.
• Family & Community Engagement – Strong partnerships with families and opportunities for shared decision-making.
• Collaborative Leadership – Educators, families, students, and community partners working together.
• Expanded & Enriched Learning – Opportunities before, during, and after school that extend and deepen student learning.
