On June 24, 2017 three UPLAN leaders spoke at the closing plenary of the National Family and Community Engagement Conference in San Francisco and launched their post card campaign to create a federal Office of Parent Engagement and a Parent Advisory Council within the U.S. Department of Education. Three-hundred signed post cards expressing support for this recommendation have been sent to Secretary DeVos so far! Join UPLAN in calling on the U.S. Department of Education to strengthen parent engagement at all levels of decision-making by signing the online petition here: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/304/006/322/create-an-office-of-parent-engagement-in-the-u.s.-department-of-education/
If you’d like a stack of postcards to get filled out, contact erin@unitedparentleaders.org.
