ABOUT THE Nashua-PLainfield Community Education Program
The Community Education Program was created in 2014 in an effort to provide youth recreation, adult education and other programming for Nashua, Plainfield & other surrounding communities, centered in the Husky Wellness Center and branching out to utilize all school facilities. As stated in the Iowa Code, Chapter 276.2:
It is the purpose of this chapter to provide education, recreational, cultural, and other community services and programs through the establishment of the concept of community education with the community school serving as the center for such activity. In co-operation with other community agencies and groups, it is the purpose of the Community Education Act to mobilize community resources to solve identified community concerns and to promote a more efficient and expanded use of existing school buildings and equipment, to provide leadership in working with other entities, to mobilize the human and financial resources of a community, and to provide a wide range of opportunities for all socioeconomic, ethnic, and age groups. A related purpose of this chapter is to develop a sense of community in which the citizenry co-operates with the school and community agencies and groups to resolve their school and community concerns and to recognize the the schools belong to the people, and that as the entity located in every neighborhood, the schools are available for use by the community day and night, year-round or any time when the programming will not interfere with the elementary and secondary program.
