Because when parents are engaged in their children's education, their children do better in school and the quality of the school improves.
Because parents bring wisdom to the Council. They have in-depth knowledge about their own children's strengths and needs as well as the perspectives of other families in the school.
Because community members who are NOT parent of children in the schools still benefit from good schools in the form of a stronger local economy and property values.
Because citizens who are NOT parents of children in the schools also have unique contributions to make to School Improvement Councils. Senior citizens, business people, members of the faith community, staff of social service agencies, and others all have knowledge, experiences and resources that can benefit their community's schools.
