We have created a parent liaison program for all 10 D97 schools, with each school having a Principal Liaison and a PTO Liaison, or a team of several liaisons working together. Liaison positions include a step-by-step toolkit for how to proceed, complete with helpful tips and email templates. See below. While SSOP is already working at the district level, we are also planning to effect change in each building. 

We are also creating a school board liaison program and are looking for volunteers! Toolkit coming soon.
