Public Schools Open Doors v. · To Community Over the past few years, public schrôls across the state have opened their doors to the community for all kinds of activities ~ not only in the summer but after school, at night, and even on weekends for peo ple of all ages. It's a result of the 1977 Community Schools Act which the General Assembly passed to encourage greater com munity involvement in schools and greater use of the school facility. ^ Lots of good things are Surfacing that can be traced to the community school concept. Where {here are community school programs, school vandalism has declined fcrver the past few years. School bond issues are be ing voted on by adults with out children in the schools. Community colleges are able to offer more courses iff*. recreational de pert inents and cultural arts can provide leisure activities because they have the lacilities they need. In Jnany instances, senior citi zens can attend school ;activities free of charge • and eat in the school cafeteria. si SoAp 121 of the 144 local school units - 1,152 desig nated community school >ites - now participate in >the program. When a school unit develops a plan ■lor community schools, it applies to the State Board !]of Education for funding. .^Vhen the plan is approved, |a community school coor dinator is hired to set up a local advisory council and ioversee the program. The plan for each unit con tains programs and activi ties according to its own ;needs and resources and •includes educational, re creational, social and cul tural experiences. The State Department of ^Public Instruction's Divi • Sion of Community Schools .provides state-level leader ship to the community Is program.

Contributions are still needed, however, to defray the costs. This is the first time an anniversary has been cele brated at the Fairview Homes. A forty-member task force which meets every Thursday, is re sponsible for organizing this event. According to Mildred Nix, coordinator of the Task Force committees, a member of the Crime Pre vention staff and a former resident of Fairview Homes, more than fun will be produced at the reunion. "Hopefully, the residents will see that this is home and the community at large will see that there is still pride in the commun ity," Ms. Nix began, "Most of the proDlems are caused by a few people." Fay Jones, game coor dinator at the anniversary celebration, believes the reunion will enhance com munity relationships. "I think this will give the community a better work ing relationship." She feels that this may be the be ginning of making Fair view Homes the place it once was. The anniversary activi ties will also be a time for relaxation and for past and present residents to get to know each other, Catherine Stroud announced. Ms. Stroud, information booth coordinator, continued, "For so long Fairview . Homes has been looked at negatively by the Charlotte population; now it is time to change that image... Basically, we want to help ourselves with outside help to get us started...We can take it from there." Past and present resi dents are invited to par ticipate.
