Saskatchewan has a policy that encourages all schools to function as
community schools. But what does this mean?  How can we put community
voices at the forefront of school planning? What is community-based
education? Have community schools lived up to their original intent? If
not, why not? How can we ensure our schools genuinely respond to
community needs and aspirations?
