Impact of community schools goes beyond the classroom [Video]

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla — There are 18 community schools in Hillsborough County. ABC Action News Anchor Lauren St. Germain went to one of them, Greco Middle School, to listen to the voices of community school leaders. She learned what makes them different from a typical school and how they impact the community.

From the hallways to the food pantry, Jay McNair, the community resource teacher at Greco Middle School, is working to help as many people as possible.

“We are just trying to take care of people. It’s tough,” said McNair.
