This document is meant to serve as a guide to educators who are interested in developing community partnerships of their own, based on the experiences and learning of PS 65 The Raymond York Elementary School.

The 5 Steps for Developing Strong Community Parternships Templates and Examples packet was compiled to provide samples of the various tools and templates that PS 65 uses during each of their five steps for developing and sustaining community partnerships. Interested educators can use these resources as guides and tools in developing and sustaining their own mutually beneficial community partnerships.
