 Please Note: Generous Community "Adopt a School" does not endorse or prescribe to solution models that offer best "Best Strategies" as a cure-all for every situation. Our research and experience has confirmed that although some schools may have identical "issues", the solution strategies will vary based on the geographic region, the demographic within that region, and the available resources available in the immediate community.
