FACE, in partnership with Public Advocates and GO Public Schools WCC, hosted a virtual training for parents on December 9, 2021. Impact Education, is expected to be a three-part series and was developed based on recommendations for increased parent education from the district level Parent Advisory Committees. This first training focused on Budgets 101, how districts and sites receive funding and participants learned about the rights and responsibilities of parent committees at the site and district levels in breakout groups. The training concluded with the participants playing a game of Budget Hold 'Em where the group practiced making some of the tough decisions that districts are faced with when determining where to spend money, and how those choices affect student achievement.
