Community Learning Centers
Akron Public Schools is currently undergoing reconstruction of its buildings. Through a partnership with the City of Akron and OSFC, schools in the Akron Public Schools district will be rebuilt or remodeled to become community learning centers by 2015. These are schools by day and community learning centers by night and weekends.
Seventeen CLCs are complete and another 7 are in the design or construction stage. The City of Akron is responsible for scheduling the use of these buildings after school hours.

Famous quotes containing the words community, learning and/or centers:
“I don’t think Dr. King helped racial harmony, I think he helped racial justice. What I profess to do is help the oppressed and if I cause a load of discomfort in the white community and the black community, that in my opinion means I’m being effective, because I’m not trying to make them comfortable. The job of an activist is to make people tense and cause social change.”
—Al, Reverend Sharpton (b. 1954)
“Our day of dependence, our long apprenticeship to the learning of other lands, draws to a close. The millions, that around us are rushing into life, cannot always be fed on the sere remains of foreign harvests.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“[Madness] is the jail we could all end up in. And we know it. And watch our step. For a lifetime. We behave. A fantastic and entire system of social control, by the threat of example as effective over the general population as detention centers in dictatorships, the image of the madhouse floats through every mind for the course of its lifetime.”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
