8th Annual Illinois Community Schools Forum Creating a Community Vision for Our Children's Success -- October 19, 2012 -- Chicago, IL   Nearly 350 community school practitioners and supporters gathered in Chicago for an informative and energizing two-day conference focused on strategies that support high quality community school implementation. Teams of participants came from across the Midwest region, including Milwaukee and Osh Kosh, Wisconsin; Grand Rapids and East Lansing, Michigan; Evansville and Indianapolis, Indiana; and Cedar Rapids, Iowa.  We were also fortunate enough to feature presenters from across the country as well as right here in Illinois.  Thanks to everyone who presented, participated, and supported in the planning of the Forum. Everyone's willingness to contribute, learn, and lead is what ultimately made the Forum such a success.  See you next year!
