        community;
            (2) public schools, primarily in rural and inner city 
        communities, should collaborate with other public and nonprofit

        served by such schools;
            (3) by using school facilities, equipment, and resources, 
        communities can promote a more efficient use of public 
        education facilities, especially in rural and inner city areas

        for local public schools to become social service centers;

        will require lifelong learning to keep America's workforce 
        competitive and successful, local public schools should provide

        individuals of all ages; and
            (5) 21st Century Community Learning Centers enable the
