Actions
7.23.19 Attend the Council on Elementary and Secondary Education meeting where the Commissioner will be asking for permission to “reconstitute” Providence Schools. Showing up makes it clear that families are watching what happens and are prepared to hold leaders accountable for acting in the best interest of kids.
ProvParents will be there with a coalition of community organizations prepared to present our collective vision for the schools we need, and what it will take to get there.
