Educational advocacy promoted at Highland
It is often difficult to get children to go back into their school building when the day
is officially over, but dozens of students and their parents and guardians made a
special exception at Highland Elementary. On Nov. 11, the school on the city’s westside
transformed into a special event center that featured a host of activities and
crafts for the children and informational sessions for the adults on educational
advocacy at the local, state and federal level. Sponsored by CareSource in partnership
with All in For Ohio Kids, and A Step in the Right Direction, the evening event
sought not only feedback from the young children and the adults on topics such as
what they liked about their local schools and what they thought could be improved,
but it also offered tips on how to engage with local and state officials on topics like
fair school funding and advocate for educational opportunities for all public school
students. Katelyn Jackson, a parent organizer at All in For Ohio Kids, said the surveys
that were filled out and the feedback that was given would be distributed to a
number of student advocacy groups to try to make changes to the school funding
formula. Jackson, who is pictured at left with Kayla Davis, the founder and executive
director of the local non-profit A Step in the Right Direction, said all voices need to
be heard in order to make educational changes for the betterment of the community.
The state-wide coalition of
community members, educations,
parents and organizations
plans to host additional
Family Festivals like
the one held at Highland
Elementary throughout the
year. Jackson encouraged
parents who were unable to
attend the night’s event to
fill out surveys and give
feedback on the state of
their schools at
