Ideas for Partnerships with Schools
Businesses, congregations and/or community organizations
can become involved in the C/B/S Partnership in a variety of ways.
Some prefer to attend the monthly C/B/S Partnership meetings and
provide information, resources and assistance as needs arise,
which might be specific to one school, several schools, and/or
the district as a whole. Others prefer to attend meetings too,
but prefer to work collaboratively with one or more
specific schools.
Please contact C/B/S Co-Facilitators
Kenneth Ferguson (fergusonk@parmacityschools.org)
or Susan Sheehan (sheehans@parmacityschools.org)
to discuss the type of involvement with the C/B/S Partnership
that would work best for your business, congregation
and/or organization.
