A couple of weeks ago, Community Ambassadors was proud to be involved in a 2-day Strategic Planning Session for the Parma City School District.  Those in attendance ranged from school administrators, teachers, and students to civic leaders, community partners, and business owners.  The purpose of this 2-day session, led and moderated by the Santa Rita Collaborative, was to formulate a strategy for the Parma City Schools that would be reflective of the community.  This task included defining the core values, vision, and mission of the school district, as well as outlining specific goals for the future.

 

PCSD Superintendent Dr. Jeffrey Graham said of the session, "To step back and watch these individuals working collaboratively to plan the future of our schools was phenomenal."  As a representative of the Parma area faith-based community, it was a great privilege and honor to have the opportunity to be a part of this collaborative effort and critical decision-making process.

 

Would you like your church to become more involved in the Parma City Schools? Consider attending the next Community/Business/Schools Partnership meeting or a Parma Area Family Collaborative meeting.  Both groups are great ways to get informed and engaged in the matters of our schools and students.
