As families gear up for the new school year, there’s a sense of excitement and anticipation. However, with test scores at their lowest in decades, the need for greater community and parental involvement in education is more critical than ever.
The Policy Circle’s 2024 Back to School Guide offers valuable resources, including fact-based Briefs and virtual programs, to help you understand and engage with the key issues in our education system. Whether you’re a concerned parent of a school-aged child or a passionate citizen who wants a better future for our youth, this guide is designed to inform and prepare you for meaningful participation in your community’s educational landscape.
For those ready to take the next step, we hope you’ll consider applying for CLER: Education.
