Parent and Community Engagement, The Education Trust

Parents and local communities have a big stake in ensuring that all students meet high standards and that their schools provide the support that teachers and students need.

The Education Trust works with parents and community-based agencies toward the goal of educating all our students to the highest levels. Meeting this goal will require that all of us are better informed about what our schools are doing—and what they are not doing. Use this site to inform yourself and others.
