Here is a great tool for school districts, local planners, and community groups. The Smart Growth Schools website has been created to help communities assess whether their school facility planning is sustainable and provides resources for improving their planning processes. The site also has a listserv to connect communities facing similar issues.

Take a look at their Report Card, which does a good job of presenting criteria for "grading" our ability to produce community schools.
It was put together to:
1. Save the community money.
2. Decrease the environmental impact of the schools on the community.
3. Improve the health of students.
4. Increase long-term support for the school system by those who do not have school-aged children.
