The division of family and community and student empowerment is a really exciting opportunity to really streamline our stakeholders and really leverage and push into all of their expertise, so that together we can actually ensure that students succeed.

We know very well that it's when family expertise, community expertise, and school expertise meets, that's when students thrive.

And so how do we create through this division an opportunity for all of the stakeholders to express their challenges, to get the right supports all in a space that's consistent, so that we can remove those barriers that that worked against their success and achievement.
