Star Ledger - How parents with kids in N.J.'s urban schools can lift their communities-Opinion

‘For many black families, especially those living in communities with high levels of poverty and low academic achievement, ensuring their children have access to the best schools and teachers can often be stymied by historical, institutional, and cultural barriers…We know many of our schools are operating with limited and finite resources. That's why the community is here with advocacy organizations, like BAEO and others that want to assist in these areas. Use them!  

Remember, parents who are engaged by educators are likely to be more active in their child's education, and this will ultimately translate to more successful outcomes and higher academic achievement.’
