Integrated Schools has a simple, yet ambitious mission: build out grassroots efforts with PARENTS to integrate schools – to deliberately and joyfully enroll our children in schools that are racially, ethnically, linguistically and socioeconomically diverse. Because the onus to integrate falls squarely on the shoulders of the very group that helped it fail (yep. middle class and white parents), we are putting us back in the game…. But responsibly, and in partnership with families of color and economically disadvantaged families. Integrated Schools develops and support coalitions of parents from all racial, socioeconomic and linguistic backgrounds to work together to integrate schools, campus by campus, community by community, parent to parent.
This is such an important mission. I am a huge public school advocate. Public schools are all-inclusive and they have so much more to offer than most parents realize. If we all pool our resources together, our schools will grow stronger, not only for our own children, but for all of the kids in our communities.
