Improving Learning for All by Engaging Parents and Families
Grand News Network August 7, 2024
United States, 7th Aug 2024, King NewsWire - Addressing the diverse needs of children in academics, sports, and the arts has always been a complex task, and recent times have heightened these challenges.
To tackle these challenges effectively, it's crucial to have active participation from parents, guardians, and community members. Your involvement is not just helpful but essential. When the school board collaborates with you, it can better serve the educational needs of our children and make well-informed decisions that enjoy community support.
Making significant policy decisions or implementing practices without widespread awareness and consent can lead to confusion, frustration, and mistrust. Unfortunately, there are too many instances where parents' concerns are ignored or deliberately dismissed. The board sometimes acts against parents' expressed wishes, leading some to believe board members think they know better than parents what’s best for their children. When parents or guardians disagree with board policies or district practices, they often face evasive responses or have their motives questioned. Some teachers have even reported retaliation for raising concerns. This needs to change.
To improve the current contentious environment, we must remember our shared love for our children, which drives our concern for their education. Recognizing this shared commitment can help us understand that while we may not always agree on solutions, respectful and professional discussions in public school board meetings are essential. Everyone’s voice should be heard and respected.
Maintaining organizational order is important, but so is ensuring that parents' and residents' concerns are addressed. If a significant number of parents or residents want to discuss a particular issue, there should be a formal process to facilitate this. Such a process would show respect for their concerns and provide reassurance.
Previously, a petition was submitted to the board, requesting that if 100 or more district residents or parents sign a petition to discuss and vote on a concern, the board must do so. Over 150 people signed this petition, but it was ignored.
Adopting this policy would enhance public communication, dispel fears and misunderstandings, and allow for more collaborative discussions. This would be a positive step for our community. If elected in November, I will work to make this policy a reality.
