The community schools CoSer 533 represents a strategy to organize resources so that academics, social and emotional needs, and medical and dental services and supports are integrated into the fabric of schools, all of which help remove obstacles to learning and serve the needs of the whole child so teachers are free to teach and students are ready to learn.
