Parents can learn how to improve their local school for all.

Susan Mansell has written a positive and informative handbook based on her own experiences as a public school parent at an urban school with a very diverse student population. She has also interviewed parents in six other successful schools across America. Parents can use the ideas in this book about what works in a public school setting. A few ideas include: a well-run school management council, successful grant-writing, community building events such as: parent skills surveys, dances, clean-up days, partnering with local businesses,international night performances, tutoring, working in the library, repairing and wiring computers, painting door or wall murals with students, chaperoning school trips, running science experiments, and speaking at school assemblies. All of these things are covered in the book plus much more. Principals and their all-important relationship with parents is discussed in great detail. The author gives examples of how the principals in the different schools manage to run their schools and include parents as partners. The final chapter includes websites, books, organizations, articles and other resources for parents to get even more information. This book is easy to read, a great resource for parents and is highly recommended.
