Hi, John, et al...

While the book "Future Search in School District Change" is obviously designed to describe how future search has been a part of school district change, you will find that several of the chapters provide insights that may be useful as you think about using open space in your situation. In particular, parts 3 and 4 focus on "Growing Community Partnerships" and "Beyond the District." The chapter I co-authored refers to a particular community partnership that has its origins in some future search work 15 years ago, but which also included Open Space meetings in the early days (Remember our friend Diane Bennett, Harrison?) and now the particular partnership which is most well developed has been using Open Space for its annual retreats for the last 5 years, as well as using it in other settings.

Hope this helps.

Friends,

I'm working with a highly motivated and well-connected
planning committee toward building a "school and
community partnership" in Pottstown, PA, which is a
suburb of Philadelphia. They are dealing with
challenges of violence, high drop-out rates, substance
abuse, and crime.
