New to the PAVE Blog
Check out two new PAVE blog pieces from parent leaders who are sharing their perspectives on the critical importance of increased SBMH resources and OST programming throughout the District! Their powerful words serve as a reminder to systems leaders that parents and families should ALWAYS have a seat at the table when education policy decisions are made.
We are now just 10 days away from PAVE’s seventh annual DC Parent Voice and Choice Week (DCPVCW) kicking off!

Over the course of the past week, Ward-based PLE Board members came together to continue planning and strategizing for when the #PurpleWave heads to the John A. Wilson Building!
Beginning January 23rd, parent leaders will chair meetings with DC’s elected leaders and policymakers, ask questions, and share their stories and perspectives - including their Statements of Beliefs on OST programs and SBMH!
We are looking forward to our scheduled meetings with Mayor Muriel Bowser, Deputy Mayor for Education Paul Kihn, Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services Wayne Turnage, and ALL DC Councilmembers!
