Miner is proud to be a Community School!
Since the 2018-19 School Year, Miner has partnered with the Edgewood/Brookland Family Support Collaborative to implement the Community School Model at Miner.
What is a Community School?
A community school is both a place and a set of partnerships between the school and other community resources. Its integrated focus on health and academics, youth and community development and community engagement leads to improved student learning, stronger families and healthier communities. Schools become centers of the community and are open to everyone-all day, every day, evenings and weekends. Click here to learn about the OSSE Community School Initiative.

What is a Community School Coordinator?
Community School Coordinators are the key to a Community School. They create, strengthen and maintain the bridge between the school and community. Community School Coordinators facilitate and provide leadership for the collaborative process and development of a continuum of services for children, families and community members with a school neighborhood.
Miner's Community School Coordinator is Ms. ShaLisa Richardson. Her office is located in Miner's ECE wing and she can be reached at srichardson@ebfsc.org.
