I need your attention for a moment—this is really important. Imagine knowing your child isn’t getting the same opportunities as other kids, simply because they go to a charter school. That’s the reality we’re facing right here in Rochester. Charter schools only receive $0.58 for every $1.00 given to traditional public schools. This means fewer resources, fewer opportunities, and fewer chances for our kids to reach their full potential. We can’t let this slide. Our kids deserve better. They deserve the same chances, the same support, and the same future as anyone else. That's why I’m inviting you to a Town Hall Meeting on Saturday, November 16th, from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM at Exploration Elementary (1001 Lake Ave, Rochester, NY 14613). We’re going to talk about how YOU can make a difference—how we can fight for equity, how we can make our voices heard, and how we can change the system for our kids. This isn't just about talking. It’s about action—about standing up for our kids, reaching out to legislators, and demanding the change they need. Every child should have access to a quality education, no matter where they go to school. If you care about our community and our kids’ futures, please join us. Let’s stand together and fight for the future our kids deserve. 💙 You can register right here: https://lnkd.in/gPUq2F3T Let’s show up for our kids. Let’s change the story. See you there. 🙌📚 #FightForOurKids #EducationalEquity #CharterChampion #RochesterStrong #MakeADifference

According to Karen Mapp (2013), for decades, research has indicated that school-family partnerships have an overwhelmingly positive impact with respect to the numerous different measures of student success. Why don't we have more of these partnerships? The short answer is that they are difficult to create and maintain. Local funds of knowledge change over time. Coalitions are difficult to form where priorities differ. On the flipped side, forming connections family-by-family is extremely inefficient, especially in larger school systems. The end result, as Mapp notes, is the ever-popular Parents Night. There is no one-size-fits-all solution, but there is a need for a system in which these coalitions can be formed in order to bring community priorities to educational leaders in a way that is actionable.

Shoutout Wieden + Kennedy for using their resources/platform to speak truth into the world and bring awareness to such an important issue - censorship & an outright agenda to erase our history. It’s powerful to be on the frontlines of activist advertising. We need more reputable brands to engage in freedom fighting and civil leadership. To stand up for what is right. WK leading the way as always!! Epitome of a brand led by strong values and principles ✊🏼📈🔥#AdMagicClassOf2023 #AdMagicAlumni

Since 2006, Community Partnership School has refined an early childhood/elementary program that empowers children with the tools to make good on their dreams. In the summer of 2023, we embarked on a process to clarify our strategy for ensuring mission fidelity and impact well into the future. Having completed this Strategic Plan, we are excited to share this summary that frames how we will allocate and augment our resources to realize our strategic goals moving forward. Many thanks to our Board of Trustees, Faculty and Staff, Parents and Guardians, and various partners and friends for their significant contributions to this work. This document summarizes our collective vision, and we're excited to realize the vision with you over the next few years and beyond. Below in the comments you will find a link to our website and plan report. #Growth #CPSPhilly #strategicplanning #strategicthinking #communityimpact #planningforthefuture #sustainability

Today’s Pre-Election Clinic workshop session with Jason Craige Harris began with an invitation to consider that we are all in pursuit of community. Jason shared a powerful quote by Charles Vogel: "I define a community as a group of individuals who share a mutual concern for one another. Community is about care, belonging, and the relationships that sustain us through the challenges of life. It is not just about proximity or shared interests, but about the bonds that form when people are committed to supporting each other." This insight is a profound reminder that community transcends physical spaces or common interests—it’s about the deep connections and relationships that sustain us. As AISNE (Association of Independent Schools in New England) moves through the first week of our 2024-2025 event programming, we are excited to gather 360+ attendees from 95+ schools across New England. Together, we will take time to become more deeply connected, continue to strengthen the bonds that define our AISNE community, and support one another through shared experiences and mutual care. Here’s to building a community where everyone belongs and is supported. #Community #AISNE #Belonging #Support #SharedExperiences #Education

We're thrilled to announce the launch of a new program designed to address unplanned school mobility in two Berkeley County schools - Cainhoy Elementary School and Cross High School. Unplanned school mobility - when a student or group of students must change schools unexpectedly - serverly implacts social-emotional development and academic success. Research shows that frequent school changes are linked to lower test scores, higher dropout rates and increased mental health concerns, including depression and anxiety. In an effort to reduce these effects, TUW is activating grant funding awarded by the SIEMER INSTITUTE and partnering locally with Communities In Schools of South Carolina (CIS) and Berkeley County School District (BCSD). In partnership with BCSD, CIS will concentrate on educational assistance, while TUW’s Family Navigators—comprising AmeriCorps members and staff—will offer crucial household support, including financial assistance, eviction prevention, budget coaching and job training. These services aim to reduce disruptions caused by unplanned school mobility and support family stability as they navigate these challenging situations. Read more https://lnkd.in/e-H885ek.
