Partners in The School Zone
CCE supports The School Zone (TSZ), an integrated network of 20+ not-for-profit agencies (NFPs), 12 public schools and three high-performing private or charter schools in West Dallas.
To comprehensively address K-12 education in West Dallas and drive school transformation, TSZ Partners have been divided into four Networks - Parent Involvement, Early Childhood Intervention (0-8), Supporting Teaching and Learning, and Community Resources. The Networks meet once every six weeks to review aggregate data, identify gaps, extend reach and improve the quality of services provided.
