Title 1 Conference Education Forum by Friends of Title 1, March 3, 2012
Folks, I assure you Louise Henry and Margaret “I’ll tell you like it is” Crosby will enlighten the community on parents rights and what’s going on with community voice! I can tell you this, we’re not talking a Rodel rodeo ! We’re talking real people to people kitchen table conversation! The fire burning in Kilroy was lit by the old school folks who walked the Earth with William Hicks Anderson! Wilmington was ground zero for the Title 1 parental involvement move that rock this nation!
Milestones in Parent Involvement of America’s School
“1972–Fourteen parents from eight states attended a meeting sponsored by the National Advisory Council on the Education of Disadvantaged Children. Led by William “Hicks” Anderson of Wilmington, Delaware; these parents pushed for a national conference for parents.”
“1974–Public Law 93-380 provided that parent advisory councils are required for each district and each school served by Title I. Parents must elect the council membership and the majority of the council must be parents. National Coalition of Title I Parents in cooperation with public interest and civil rights groups sponsored the first national conference for Title I parents in St. Louis, Missouri.”
“1976–National Coalition of ESEA Title I Parents opened The National Parent Center in Wilmington, DE/Washington, DC. The Center became the premier training and information clearinghouse for parents and Title I educators.”
The time has come for Wilmington to reclaim it’s voice in parental rights and education reform!
