See what we are saying
“Every community has large social problems. No one entity can solve it in the community. It’s not accidental that this momentum is taking pace.” On backbone organizations, sharing data and being transparent, and innovative partnerships
“When we give our partners some room in finance and staffing for example, it’s been interesting and enlightening to see what they can do. That’s a benefit of these partnership. They can pilot quickly, within district schools, and can share learning across the district.”
Partnerships have always been key. I lived that with YWLA. Difference is the people standing in the gap. Partnerships met SEL needs & developed parents as advocates. It is not our fight alone, this affects all of us. We will need to work together. -Dr. Hall Crowley ISD board pres
“One of the great examples of partnerships is right here in Fort Worth.” The Leadership Academy Network is a partnership with @FortWorthISD and @TexasWesleyan that uses its partnership to make equitable staff & calendar decisions that are responsive to their schools and students.
