Carbondale Elementary District 95 has received a $5 million dollar grant over 5 years to help implement a Full-Service Community Schools model by the new academic year this upcoming fall.
Five advisory groups will meet through the spring, with final planning to occur over the summer so the district is hopefully ready to roll out the Community Schools model at the beginning of the new academic year this fall.
WSIU's Brad Palmer talked with District 95 Superintendent Janice Pavelonis at the January 31 kickoff event to learn more about this new school model.
