North Carolina’s Department of Public Instruction is inviting parents to join its North Carolina Superintendent’s Parent Advisory Council to provide “thoughtful guidance” to state officials.
“The initiative is designed to elevate informed family voice, strengthen trust and ensure that those closest to students play an active role in shaping the future of public education,” reads the department’s June 4 press release.
Not only parents but also guardians and other family members – all who are “primary caregivers” – have until Sept. 15 to apply, the release said.
“As we continue to implement our strategic plan, it is critical that we engage families not just as stakeholders but as informed partners,” said North Carolina Superintendent Maurice “Mo” Green. “This council will help us build a strong group of leaders who understand our system and can provide meaningful input to improve outcomes for students.”
