NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF LATINO ARTS & CULTURE
NALAC was founded in 1989 in response to a need for a 
service organization for Latino arts and cultural organizations 
and artists. At that time mainstream arts service 
organizations did not specifically provide Latino arts and 
cultural organizations with services or advocate on their 
behalf. In addition, no entity convened the constituents in the 
Latino arts field, advocated for their inclusion in government 
and private support for the arts, or provided Latino 
organizations with technical assistance in program and
organizational development. For this reason, a group of 
Latino artists, activists and administrators created a service 
organization to meet the needs in Latino communities across 
the country.

COMMUNITY SCHOOLS: HANDBOOK FOR POLICY 
At a time when choice and testing dominate the 
education agenda, there is an increased need to apply some 
common sense and  consider the critical role that community 
and family play in educating our children.  In response to this 
need, The Coalition for Community Schools has released a 
primer to help guide state policymakers -- governors, state 
legislators, chief state school officers, and leaders of other 
state agencies-- through the vision of community schools.  It 
describes specific actions that leaders can take to "grow" 
community schools in their states.
