City Schools are committed to helping students thrive by fostering genuine, equal partnerships among youth, families, community partners, and staff. School Family and Community (SFC) Councils bring together the essential stakeholders of each school, leveraging the full resources of the community to support every family. These councils empower everyone involved to participate in decision-making and advocacy, working together to remove obstacles and create an inclusive environment where every voice is heard and respected. By working closely, we aim to build a more equitable and supportive community for all City Schools families.

SFC Councils provide a collaborative platform for sharing information and making collective decisions, focusing on supporting and celebrating our students' academic achievements and diverse cultural experiences and strengths. By involving a wide range of stakeholders, we can create school environments that genuinely respect and honor the racial, cultural, geographical, and personal backgrounds of our communities. This inclusive approach allows our students to thrive and reach their full potential.

City Schools believes that family and community engagement is a shared responsibility and essential component for improving academic outcomes of our students. We have a collective responsibility to create and sustain organizational conditions to guarantee family-school and community partnerships that improve academic performance and social emotional well-being of all students. These partnerships benefit to all stakeholders.
