Parents Design L.A. Parent Involvement Model Connect for Kids / Child Advocacy 360 / Youth Policy Action Center:
"Los Angeles parents have a new tool this fall to help them be more active and engaged in their children’s schools. The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) will be implementing a new model for involving parents in schools that specifically addresses the needs of “parents of colowith kids who struggle in urban schools,” says Mary Johnson, mother of two and executive director of Parent-U-Turn.
The new parent involvement model—developed by Parent-U-Turn, an organization focused on improving parent involvement in schools—aims to “help urban parents advocate for their children, navigate the K-12 system, ask [schools] the right questions, and know about policy,” says Johnson. The LAUSD is implementing the new model this fall—and now schools across California can also adopt it."
