That may be possible. You must appear at your court date and request it. The judge will decide whether to allow it. Many will, especially if you have extreme financial difficulties. Some courts will not allow it under any circumstances. Depending on the court, you may have to pay a processing or supervision fee while you are performing your community service, and you may have to be on probation.

Can schools give community service as a punishment?

It can be looked at both ways. It can be viewed as a punishment in that it is usually assigned as an alternative to having to serve jail time or pay a fine. It can also be viewed as a reward, in that it was offered instead of having to serve jail time or pay a fine. The choice of how to view it, is yours.
