Parents know best what their kids need. So while administrators and politicians debate how to reopen schools, more parents than ever are realizing that they need a more powerful voice in determining what happens in their child’s education. We hope that you will encourage participation in our initiative to put parent voices front and center.

The Parent Rally is taking place now on Facebook [[link removed]]and seeks to capture the challenges of parents and their views, and especially what they want and need now. Here’s how:

The Parent Rally is hosted on the CER Facebook [[link removed]] page, to empower parents to voice their concerns about the decisions being made in school reopenings.

Each week we will offer a prompt on our page for parents to complete, such as this week’s prompt “If I had the money the school district has to help educate my child, I would take it and [blank].” Parents can share comments about how their family’s education is being impacted.

To show our gratitude, we will be giving away a new Macbook each week to ONE of the parents who shares their thoughts on education.

Really meaningful, new and insightful experiences will be the basis for a CER-produced documentary on “Parent Voices in the Pandemic.”

We are excited to be able to provide a simple but powerful forum that can capture parent voices in real time. Please share with your friends!
