<br /> the 4-J Board of Directors in 1979. She said community school coordinators <br /> e work closely with City Community Centers to avoid duplication, present comple- <br /> mentary programs, and jointly sponsor activities. She discussed programs in <br /> the middle schools and cooperative programs with neighborhood groups. She <br /> said programs at the community schools differ because the programs reflect <br /> citizen participation in planning. The community school advisory group meet- <br /> ings are attended by many neighborhood people who are not involved in regular <br /> school activities. <br /> Answering a question from Mr. Hansen, Ms. Stafford said 4-J policies indicate <br /> that all schools should become community schools. However, if community <br /> schools are begun in neighborhoods which are not ready for them, the schools <br /> grow very slowly. Consequently, the CSCC recommends new community schools <br /> only when interest is shown by the neighborhood. Currently, no funds to <br /> expand the number of community schools are available. <br /> Replying to a question from Ms. Bascom, Ms. Wooten said the City contributes <br /> $36,000 and the 4-J district contributes $150,000 to community schools. <br /> Ms. Stafford said both the City and the school district reduced the funding <br /> several years ago . Two years ago, the school district raised its contribu- <br /> tion and the City did not. <br /> Ms. Wooten announced that Christine Donahue, Neighborhood Liaison, will be the <br /> liaison between community school coordinators and City Parks and Recreation <br /> Department staff. <br /> e III.
