Quick Connections — Partnership Stories & Strategies: Funding Collaborations Between Community-Based Providers and School Districts

Join us for Part 9 in a series highlighting strategies and tools to build and strengthen school-community partnerships, co-sponsored by School’s Out Washington and YDEKC.

We were in conversation with David Beard, Policy & Advocacy Director for School’s Out Washington, to talk about how school districts offer an opportunity for funding collaboration that is often less difficult to achieve than partnerships with other public entities. This conversation elevated best practices in local collaborations, relationship management with districts, and details on funding sources.
