About the FSCE Working Group

Parents for Public Schools (PPS) is actively engaged in advocacy for all public school children at the local, state, and national level. PPS Executive Director Anne Foster serves on the National Family, School, and Community Engagement Working Group, a national group that seeks to shape federal education policy with the U.S. Department of Education.

The National Family, School, and Community Engagement Working Group is a leadership collaborative whose purpose is to inform the development and implementation of federal policy related to family, school, and community engagement in education. It is dedicated to mobilizing partnerships among families, schools, and communities to promote kindergarten readiness, improve schools, and increase student achievement.

PPS chapters and members are advocates for our public schools: promoting successes and leading efforts for reform. For more information on the working group, please see the documents provided on this page. For more information on how PPS chapeters are leaders in their local communities, please visit our chapters page.
