Parents are instrumental in their child’s success in school. That’s why the League of Education Voters is presenting two unique views on parent engagement. Whether it’s an effective parent partnership with your district and schools or it takes a parent revolution, come hear how parents are at the forefront to improve their local schools.

Ben Austin of California’s Parent Revolution and Trise Moore of the Federal Way School District will lead the conversation about how parents can get busy to support their child’s success in school and beyond.
