Sacramento Bee: Sacramento City Unified School District is partnering with Mayor Kevin
Johnson's education nonprofit to promote parent engagement in city schools.
Stand Up for Sacramento Schools will focus on six schools identified by Sacramento City Unified as "priority schools." Those include Oak Ridge Elementary, Father Keith B. Kenny Elementary, Jedediah Smith Elementary, Fern Bacon Basic Middle, Will C. Wood Middle and Hiram W. Johnson High.
Stand Up Deputy Director Andrea Corso said many of the district's most successful schools require parent involvement. The partnership with the district will help encourage parents to become involved in their child's education and teach them how to track behavior, attendance and course grades.
The initiative will begin in January.
