Alliance for a Better Community

Alliance for a Better Community (ABC) proposes to build the capacity of parents to participate in various forms of civic learning and engagement in order to support their student’s achievement, strengthen their communities and promote the creation of high-quality public schools in the Southeast cities of Los Angeles.  ABC will lead this work in collaboration with the Los Angeles Unified School District and other regional partners to enable parents to act as informed partners with schools and the District in the implementation and oversight of the Public School Choice Resolution and the Local School Stabilization and Empowerment Initiative.  In each of the next two years, 200 parents will participate in the training sessions.  In addition, ABC will work to standardize parent engagement accountability measures across multiple LAUSD initiatives, and continue to promote educational reform with LAUSD and local district leaders, as well as elected officials, civic leaders and other allies in the Southeast region.
