Affecting Transformative Change: Questions for Families and Other Advocates to Ask Their District Leaders. Reimagine & Rebuild
Education Trust-West
While the COVID-19 pandemic has affected all families and communities, it is most deeply impacting students of color, students from low-income families, English learners, youth in foster care, unhoused students, students with disabilities, and other marginalized children and youth -- as well as their families. The pandemic has exposed and worsened inequities in education. At the same time, the strength of students, families, and school staff has been seen, as they have taken on new roles in their homes, schools, and communities. This document provides a list of questions for families and other advocates to ask their school and district leaders. It also shares related suggestions for how leaders can take action to support students now and reimagine how schools can better support them in the future. This resource highlights a collection of key recommendations for districts as they implement immediate actions to respond to the needs of their students and families, while also implementing actions to transform school systems to truly center equity to ensure that every student is supported to thrive socially, emotionally, and academically.
