RECEIVE EMAIL UPDATES: SEARCH PTO TODAY: Beyond Parent Involvement Partnership model brings school, family, and community together to build student achievement By Michelle Bates Deakin But Falk wanted to reach out beyond the ring of usual suspects: upper-income parents with high-achieving kids. And he wasn’t just looking for involvement in the PTA. The former research chemist turned stay-at-home dad was hoping to get parents intimately involved in the school’s curriculum with an eye toward improving the performance of all the students, whether they spoke English or one of the school’s nine other languages: Bulgarian, Cambodian, Chinese, French, Khmer, Pakistani, Portuguese, Spanish, and Russian. For a model of how to involve parents in improving schools, Falk and the administration of Park Avenue Elementary turned to the National Network of Partnership Schools at Johns Hopkins University. The group provided a road map for Park Avenue to follow. The plan showed the school how to create five “action teams” for reading, writing, math, behavior, and partnerships. And in just four years the results of those teams have been dramatic. Standardized test scores have risen, and behavior problems with children have dwindled, with suspensions all but disappearing. Communication between parents and teachers has flourished, with multilingual volunteers sending newsletters and making phone calls to parents each month. “The Network pointed the way for us,” says Falk. “It allowed us to go menu shopping and look at what other schools have done and what’s worked.”

4. Brown Interview on the Board, he made it a point to meet with ptas, ptos, and superintendents throughout the district he observed an antinorthern ohio, anti-Cleveland attitude in the southern http://www.chhistory.org/cape/candidates/BROWN.html

VIRGIL E. BROWN, JR. CANDIDATE FOR STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION Virgil Brown is a native Clevelander born in 1945 who attended Cleveland public schools. He graduated from CWRU in physics, attended the graduate school of business, and graduated law school cum laude from CSU. He resides in Shaker Heights, where his daughters attend Hathaway Brown School. He is an attorney in private practice which concentrates on civil law, bankruptcy, probate, and real estate. Brown was appointed to the State Board of Education by Governor Voinovich in 1991. He reports that he was never called or influenced by the governor after his appointment. He was elected to a full term in 1992. After serving that term, he ran unsuccessfully for County Treasurer. He is seeking election now because he ``thoroughly enjoyed'' being on the State Board, and found it ``challenging, interesting work.'' When on the Board, he made it a point to meet with PTAs, PTOs, and superintendents throughout the district. They were surprised, because they were not usually visited by their State Board representative. His communication bridged the gap. Brown was on the statewide task force to study the original DeRolph decision. He tried to guide the State Board on whether to appeal or not appeal. He voted not to appeal. He supports the DeRolph decision, and thinks that it is ``correct.'' As a State Board member, he has visited districts that have tables in a hallway for a library, and former coal rooms used as classrooms. He thinks that the current funding system should be revised, as it is not ``reliable, adequate, or fair.''

In the event that a citizen attending a board meeting wishes to have an item removed from the consent agenda, the board president has the option to consider it as a separate item of business. If a board member wishes to comment on a consent item, or ask a question before the vote, this may be done without removing the item from the consent agenda. If a board member wishes extended discussion of a consent item, or wants to vote against a particular item, it should be removed from the consent agenda. Communications, Special Recognitions

A community fully engaged in the education of its children brings multiple benefits to students and reflects positively on its citizens. From encouraging daily attendance in school to serving as tutors and mentors, parents and community members help CPS students succeed in school — and life. Building Excellence in Community Engagement hen Cincinnati Public Schools’ officials wanted to push the message that daily school attendance is important, they turned to the community for help. The community readily endorsed the district’s "Count Me In" campaign. Parent groups, community members, businesses and civil-rights, social-service and religious groups promised to help spread the word that good attendance is key to success in school — and that it’s a good habit to carry into a student’s professional life. The community also stepped up with donations of incentive prizes for schools that boost their student attendance. The response is one example among many of how the community assists CPS’ students beyond the financial support given in the voting booth. Community members, as individuals and members of businesses, churches and organizations, enrich the educational experience of students in a variety of ways.

How to Get Involved in Cincinnati Public Schools There are many ways that parents, community members, businesses and organizations can get involved in the Cincinnati Public School District. Check with Your Local School Opportunities abound at each and every local school. Different schools need help in different ways. Check with the principal about what your school needs. Volunteers: Some are looking for people to help out in classrooms, lunchrooms and on the playground. Others are searching for volunteers to help with field trips or in the office. Parent Organizations: Many schools have Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs) or Parent Teacher Organizations (PTOs) that organize many events and fund-raising efforts for the school and are looking for active members. Lecturers and Guest Speakers: Schools can always use volunteers to speak on Career Days or share some special talent or skill with young people. Donations: Often schools are searching for special materials like leftover wood, fabric, paint, etc. that children can use express their creativity and make art and class projects.
