There are lots of ways for parents to be involved in their child's education - keeping track in the classroom, at home and throughout the school district. Broward County Public Schools encourages all their parents to be actively involved with, and committed to, their child's education. Here are a few ways that parents can have a real voice and make a real difference for their student. Every school has an advisory council which acts as a watchdog and forwards school improvement ideas. These ideas and concerns are also forwarded to both area and district advisories which meet regularly with key staff and the Superintendent.
Advisories do outstanding work on behalf of kids.
If you wish to join this group, call your local school for more information. It is an important advocacy group for children's education issues. Many schools have PTAs which work to support and advance school improvement at individual schools and also have a structure where concerns and issues are discussed at the district level and with the Superintendent. To find out more call you local school. Some schools have independent PTO organizations which function to support individual schools and their school improvement efforts.
