Birth of community schools in Flint, Michigan

While attending a Rotary Club meeting in Flint, Michigan, in June 1935, Charles Stewart Mott heard a presentation by local educator Frank Manley about the importance of helping the city’s children to stay safe, active and engaged during out-of-school hours. Manley’s solution: Keep the doors of Flint’s public schools open after the last bell rings and provide young people with high-quality recreational programming. In this edited excerpt from a 1969 interview with Flint-area television station WJRT ABC 12, C.S. Mott reflected on Frank Manley’s idea and its evolution into a community schools approach to public education.
