Sustainability Through Partnerships Schools that invest in community involvement and business partnerships can achieve a model of sustainability not easily attained on tax dollars alone. This lesson takes a snapshot view of some alternative methods for promoting and encouraging contributions of time and money from outside sources.
Success stories are highlighted, and grant resources identified.
Teachers, office managers, and principals all need to model the use of technology in a learning environment.
