The Alliance for Education’s mission is to help every student in Seattle Public Schools achieve academic success. We believe that essential to fulfilling our mission is working with communities to build a collective commitment to public education.
Families and community members want to know what they can do to help and want their voices to be heard. It is only with the support of the whole community that the challenges facing our schools — such as the achievement gap and high school dropout rate — will be tackled.
The Alliance for Education partners with a number of community organizations to engage the Seattle community in public education. Representatives of communities and organizations sit on the Alliance for Education’s Community Engagement Task Force.
As our community engagement efforts unfold, we look forward to strengthening our school-community partnerships and providing all students with the supports necessary to succeed in school and in life.
The Alliance's community engagement efforts are headed by Solynn McCurdy, Community Engagement Manager. Should you have any questions or want to get involved, please email Solynn or call him at 206-205-0329.
The Alliance for Education and Seattle Public Schools thank the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for its generous support of this work.
