If it's an area issue, there is an area superintendent that deals with schools issues. Names and phone numbers of these individuals are now available to all parents. We believe very strongly that without the parents we aren't going to be successful with the education of our children, Gonzalez added. We want to make sure they are involved in their children's education and involved with us in the decision-making process. Parents are encouraged to visit the schools and participate in the school advisory committee.
Parental involvement is critical to a well-balanced educational process.
Their involvement is critical in helping teachers and administrators learn about our children. This is an important event for those who are interested in the educational process of our Army children. Quality of Life issues relating specifically to the education of military children will be addressed at this conference. Conference recommendations will be presented to the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Education. The Military Child Conference will involve the collective wisdom of military families, military leaders, educators, public officials, community and corporate leaders as a coalition in a collaborative effort.
