Each child must know that education is valued by one or more persons whose opinion the child trusts.
Parents are the best source of such support.
MBRT believes a successful education system must find ways to gain, then keep, parental and community commitment. Schools should be open and receptive to parents. No one has more vested interest in or more powerful influence on the success of an individual student than does the parent. Because MBRT recognizes the strength and importance of a parent's voice, we include parents on all committees and in every initiative. MBRT's Speakers Bureau has made presentations on high school standards and assessments to hundreds of parents across the state, seeking their input and support.
