Abstract

This article describes the dynamics of establishing school-based community services through interagency partnerships. It is based on a case study of the creation of an intergenerational learning center in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where a public middle school, faced with closure and neighborhood decline, became the focus of a managerial and programmatic agreement between the city, a community action agency, and the school district. A case synopsis describes the (developmental) sequence of partnership development and the school restructuring process. Findings indicate that interagency partnerships can result in school restructuring which encourages school-based community services as service delivery options for students.
