Even though the schools and districts had established track records of formal and informal linkages with entities in the community as well as outside agencies, the practice was not always applied to all areas of need such as enhancing supports for ELL students or accessing additional financial resources. Establishing effective parent and community participation of Spanish-speaking individuals in the day-to-day activities of the schools was not found to be consistent across the three sites, even when leaders in all three sites expressed this as a need. Multiple references were made about local individuals and companies with substantial financial resources and interests in each of the school systems. However, there was no evidence in any of the three districts of local educational foundations, established funds, or other efforts to access local sources of extra revenue for purposes beyond scholarships.
