Did you know that LAUSD only spends 4 cents out of every $100 for parent trainings and workshops? Families are worth more than spare change! Because we know that when parents are engaged, kids succeed.
Join parents, educators, and parent advocates for a discussion on what LAUSD should do to improve the quality of parent engagement in our schools.
Just use the hashtag #Yes2Parents.
The individual or organization with the best responses will be eligible to win a $100 gift card. Details to follow.

I really don't think a Twitter Party makes much of an effort at Parent Engagement either …other than to create the impression thereof.
And if LAUSD only spends 4 cents out of every $100 on parent training & workshops, what exactly did FIS founder Maria Casillas do about it while she was in charge of the LAUSD Parent Community Services Branch? ….besides eliminate and/or cut funding to parent engagement/involvement programs, disband elected parent representative groups and piss off just about everyone?

And if LAUSD’s budget is $6.8 billion, 4¢ out of every $100 still equals $2,720.000.! Where is all that money going?
FIS is like one of Ollie North's 'off-the-shelf" resources - ready to swoop in in black helicopters to play the role of popular support.
