Key Public Policy Advocacy Positions

We will work with key stakeholders at the local, regional, and state levels to advocate for:

• Moving the state’s education standard from “minimally adequate” to “high quality.”
• Increasing public funding and support for collaborative school/community partnerships, including community learning centers.
• Providing the resources necessary to increase prevention efforts, in addition to ongoing intervention efforts, for both child abuse and high-risk behaviors.
• Additional funding for after-school and extended day learning opportunities for middle and high school students.
