RESOURCES TO
STAY INFORMED - EDUCATE - ADVOCATE

This page pulls together a range of available resources to help you educate yourself, get involved and join the fight on the issues and legislation most affecting public schools, and connect with other parents, advocates, and public officials.  We'll continue to post information on upcoming events and training opportunities, recorded webinars and presentations, links to organizations and individuals you may want to follow, and other useful links.

(If you come across useful sources that aren't already listed here, please let us know so that they can be added
either through our Contact Form or by emailing us directly at info@basdproudparents.org )

There's so much we can learn from and share with each other, and so many ways we can use that knowledge to benefit our schools and neighborhoods!
