AZ SB1635

Establishes a three-year Arizona community schools pilot program administered by the Department of Education, selecting six schools with at least 400 pupils each (including at least one elementary school) to participate.

Awards three-year grants to eligible schools totaling up to $60,000 annually for a full-time community school coordinator's salary and benefits, plus $25,000 annually to develop and implement a community school plan.

Requires participating schools to establish a school-community partnership team, partner with community-based organizations or social service providers, and develop a sustainability plan for continuing the program after the pilot ends.

Mandates community school coordinators recruit partners, coordinate academic and family support programs, conduct annual needs assessments, and facilitate community meetings at least twice yearly to report progress and gather input.

Appropriates $500,000 from the state general fund in each of fiscal years 2022-2023, 2023-2024, and 2024-2025 to the Department of Education for grant distribution; the pilot program repeals December 31, 2025.
