Bethune Full Service
Minneapolis Public Schools’ Bethune Elementary is a Full-Service School in North Minneapolis. The overall vision of Full-Service Community Schools (FSCS) is to create partnerships between schools like Bethune and local community resources. FSCS focuses on eliminating barriers for students and their families by providing support and assistance in areas like employment, housing, food insecurity, clothing, health, social services, and youth development.
