Supporting schools and local educational agencies across L.A. County in implementing the California Community Schools Partnership Program.
The Greater Los Angeles Regional Transformational Assistance Center (R-TAC) partners, guides and co-learns with grantees of the California Community Schools Partnership Program (CCSPP) to leverage the Community Schools model.
Led by the LACOE Community Schools Initiative, the Greater Los Angeles R-TAC is one of eight technical assistance centers designated by the California Department of Education to support community schools statewide.
Our work is carried out in partnership with The Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health and the UCLA Center for the Transformation of Schools. Together, we are committed to transforming educational practices and reducing disparities in schools across Los Angeles County.
