Community Education News & Updates
Community Education has been a part of the public education arena for many years. The State of Missouri has boasted such initiatives since the early 1970s. Indeed, some aspects of Community Education have existed in Missouri since it became a state. People of Missouri have always been responsive to the needs of the community. However, it has been within the last decade that the true meaning and benefits of the concept have been realized.
The mission of Community Education is to provide opportunities for people in a community to improve their quality of life without regard to age, sex, race, color, national origin, religious preference, disability, or handicapped condition. Community Education emphasizes increased involvement of parents, businesses, and community members with the local public school system and lifelong learning.
