It is the purpose of this chapter to provide educational, recreational, cultural, and other
community services and programs through the establishment of the concept of community
education with the community school serving as the center for such activity. In cooperation
with other community agencies and groups, it is the purpose of the community education
Act to mobilize community resources to solve identified community concerns and to promote
a more efficient and expanded use of existing school buildings and equipment, to provide
leadership in working with other entities, to mobilize the human and financial resources of a
community, and to provide a wide range of opportunities for all socioeconomic, ethnic, and
age groups. A related purpose of this chapter is to develop a sense of community in which
the citizenry cooperates with the school and community agencies and groups to resolve their
school and community concerns and to recognize that the schools belong to the people, and
that as the entity located in every neighborhood, the schools are available for use by the
community day and night, year-round or any time when the programming will not interfere
with the elementary and secondary program.
