The Winter 2005 issue of On Common Ground, a publication of the National Association of Realtors, includes several excellent articles on schools and communities. One article focuses on "green/sustainable" school buildings, while another discusses building partnerships to construct smart schools. There's also a quite interesting piece on providing affordable housing for teachers, looking at some local efforts.

It's great news that the National Association of Realtors is highlighting the relationship between strong schools and strong neighborhoods & communities.
