Chicago Expands Sustainable Schools Initiative to 15 More Campuses

Fifteen additional Chicago campuses have joined the Sustainable Community Schools program. The initiative integrates academic instruction with health, social, and community services at participating sites. This expansion increases the number of district schools operating under the program model.

Key Points

  • 15 more Chicago campuses join the Sustainable Community Schools program
  • Program provides integrated academic, health, and social services
  • Expansion occurs within Chicago Public Schools district
