“Community-based approaches this summer will be essential for meeting the moment. This will require agencies and organizations to work with new partners, braid and blend funds, seek out opportunities to break down traditional silos, and develop strategies to distribute federal funds aimed at supporting student needs over the summer.”

The Colorado Sun‘s Erica Breunlin examines the coalition’s proposed strategies alongside the critical situations that many children, families, and educators are facing.
