This California Community Schools Partnership Program Implementation Plan outlines a five-year strategy (2025-2030) for Corning Union Elementary School District to transform its schools into community schools. The plan is structured around four pillars: Integrated Student Supports; Family and Community Engagement; Collaborative Leadership and Practices for Educators and Administrators; and Extended Learning Time and Opportunities, supported by five capacity-building strategies. Key priorities include increasing school safety and student well-being, enhancing parent engagement and education (particularly for English Learners), improving academic support in Math and ELA, ensuring consistent mental health and social-emotional supports, expanding schools as community hubs for resource access, and improving student enrichment opportunities. The plan aims to achieve equitable outcomes and support a whole-child approach.

The Corning Union Elementary School District's Wellness Plan aims to foster student health, well-being, and academic success by promoting healthy choices and aligning with Board Policy 5030. The plan outlines a comprehensive approach through key pillars: maintaining an active Wellness Committee, ensuring a nutritious environment and services (including healthy meals, water access, and Smart Snacks compliance), implementing nutrition education within curricula and through community partnerships, fulfilling state physical education requirements, encouraging physical activity beyond structured PE, fostering a positive school environment, supporting employee wellness, and engaging stakeholders in its development and review. The initiative emphasizes consistent implementation, monitoring, and triennial assessments to build lifelong healthy habits.
