full-service community schools
Transformation Waco (TW) operates with a community schools strategy and mindset. We treat schools as neighborhood hubs that bring together academics, youth development, family and community engagement with an infusion of wraparound health and social services.
In January 2023, the U.S. Department of Education awarded TW a five-year Full-Service Community Schools Program (FSCS) grant for our “Transformation Waco Community Alliance: A Waco-Driven Solution to School Improvement” project. The grant enables us to expand our community schools strategy and establish new programs to increase students’ and families’ access to social, emotional, mental health and academic support.
Our FSCS consortium of community partners, including Communities In Schools of the Heart of Texas, Inspiración, Prosper Waco, Waco Family Medicine, Waco Housing Authority and the Waco Police Department, work alongside campus teams to follow the six pillars of the FSCS strategy.
