2008
The Casey Foundation believes that strong relationships among schools, families, and communities are necessary if schools that serve low-income children are to help young people graduate ready to succeed in life. The publication includes stories about the Harlem Children’s Zone Practitioners Institute, parent organizing in Texas and Denver, one California school district’s innovative parent engagement policy, and the Foundation’s contribution to results measurements in the field.
