Parents and Community

Public Engagement Project

NEA awarded CTA three Public Engagement Project grants, which provide resources to organize broad-based community dialogue intended to improve public schools. The process:

A sponsoring committee of educators, school administrators, parents & community leaders begin planning, developing & implementing the first community conversation.
The committee collects & analyzes the input from the community conversation. The information is used to identify priorities.
A second community conversation defines & clarifies priorities. The information is used to develop an action plan.
Once the action plan is written, the participants involved will decide on strategies to best implement the plan.

The PEPs: Alum Rock EA/East Side TA; Merced City TA/Merced UHS TA; & Coachella Valley TA.
