A Dissertation in Practice was conducted which connected theories of action and Yosso's (2015) community cultural wealth framework to address the absence of diverse parental perspectives and oversight at Freedom Middle School in South Texas. Platicas with seven parent volunteers and a parent engagement survey available to all Freedom Middle School parents were used to inform the campus leadership team, aiding them to enhance future strategic planning. Findings include: accountability, belonging, community, involvement, making a difference, purpose, presence in school, and service.
