Public Schools and Communities Division Welcome to the Public Schools and Communities Division!
Welcome to the Public Schools and Communities Division! Not since the civil rights era have our public schools and K-12 education faced so many challenges. If you are interested in and concerned about K-12 public education, our public schools, and their impacts on neighborhoods and communities, then please join our Division! We promote communication and professional learning opportunities that address the many intersections of school planning and planning for great communities.
The mission of the Public Schools and Communities Division is to create stronger linkages between the planning profession and public school districts to support and strengthen public education and public schools, create stronger neighborhoods and communities, and increase opportunities for our youth and their families, as well as to integrate public schools into community planning more holistically to ensure land use, housing, transportation, and other planning policies minimize inequities and maximize resources and opportunities within our schools and communities.
