The Neighborhood Transformation Partnership in Contra Costa County is the first collaboration in the state of California in which the governing boards of the County, City, and School District have each entered into and approved a Partnership Agreement.
John Gioia, Contra Costa County Supervisor, took the lead in bringing other elected leaders to work with the City of Richmond and West Contra Costa Unified School District to plan for a grant to benefit students attending DeJean Middle School. Supervisor Gioia measured the impact of Neighborhood Transformation as a reflection of improved student attendance.
