Nine separate articles in an illustrated booklet present opinions on the evolving relationship of schools and communities in the United States and abroad. Several ideals or models of community in the past and present are described. It is noted that the concept of community, while just coming into its own in education, still faces serious problems. Utilization of community resources is promoted as a new way to "get it all together" to improve education and society in general. New perspectives on education springing from the community are reviewed and a restructuring of decision-making processes is called for in order to make community involvement, control, and participation a reality. A discussion of the effects of the community school relationship on the traditional school model and facilities is followed by an interview with an architect-planner who offers responses to the needs of teachers, children and parents to make the school a more humane place for learning as well as a community center. The concept of the year round school is elaborated in relation to better utilization of school facilities. Projects around the country are spotlighted to give an idea of what is happening, and where, in school community relations. A list of resources concludes the booklet. (Author/KSM)
