Proactive problem solvers. We help districts recognize and utilize the professional talents of parents - skills that belong at the policy table, not just the homework table. Effective decision makers. If educators want parents to have confidence in their decisions, they need to involve parents in those decisions. Parents are not passive, external constituents, but equal and actively engaged partners.
Public schools anchor a community.
PPS members answer a civic duty to help make schools strong for all children. Public schools need parents to challenge notions of mediocrity and work to set and meet the highest possible standards. Mentors to others. Willing parents are paving the way for those less inclined to be on the frontlines. As we create more welcome spaces and meaningful roles, all parents benefit.
