Burnaby\u2019s Community School model was established in 1976 as a result of a strong partnership<\/strong> between the school district and the City of Burnaby. The first school to become a community school was Lochdale Elementary (now Lochdale Community School<\/a>). At the time, it was also one of the first community schools in the province. Since then, SD41 and the City of Burnaby have increased its partnership to\u00a0seven elementary community schools:\u00a0Edmonds<\/a>, Gilmore<\/a>,\u00a0Maywood<\/a>, Second Street<\/a>, Stoney Creek<\/a>,and Stride Avenue<\/a>, as well as one\u00a0secondary school:\u00a0Byrne Creek.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Each Community School is supported by a Community School Advisory Council<\/strong>. \u00a0They are a representative group of people who live and work within the school neighbourhood. \u00a0The members of the Community Council work towards developing effective responses to emerging community and school needs through the development of programs or services for all residents, from birth to seniors. \u00a0Inherent to this is a commitment to ensure that all groups or individuals who will be affected by the activities of Council are involved in the decision making process. \u00a0Members from each Community Council also belong to the District Community School Advisory and Coordinating Committee (DAC). \u00a0This committee of the Burnaby School Board comprises of one representative from each Community School Council, two School Trustees, one Recreation Commissioner and One Alderman. \u00a0The purpose of the DAC is to advise the School Board and Municipality on Community Schools, set budgets, and promote the community education concept.<\/p>\n

Each Community School also has a Community School Coordinator<\/strong>\u00a0who is assigned to a Community School or group of schools. \u00a0The Coordinator develops, coordinates, and supervises community programs and services for all age groups in a given community school area. \u00a0Programs developed and operated are intended to be consistent with the needs and interests expressed by the community and the various social agencies working in the community and with the policies of the Board. \u00a0The Coordinator also works closely with the Community School Advisory Council and is also responsible for assigned district-wide community education initiatives.<\/p>\n

Community Schools and programs are supported in partnership with the Burnaby School District, The City of Burnaby, United Way, and the Ministry of Education CommunityLINK funding. \u00a0Many programs in our community schools are also supported through donations and grants from local businesses and organizations.<\/p>\n
