Parents to the rescue! Maybe a tad dramatic, but that’s how it feels to me when I am able to ask members of our parent community to advise on issues both legal and medical. To ensure a well-balanced, appropriate and pro-active approach to a top priority concern like community health, I knew we would need some great advice from experts.
The 100% positive response we received when I asked for help was heart-warming; it reminded me of Escuela’s roots. We were founded as a parent co-op, run by parent volunteers who did everything from childcare to painting the walls and mopping the floors. While I didn’t ask anyone to mop floors, I did ask for their valuable time and expertise. On our advisory board, we are lucky to have a team of parents with medical, scientfic, educational and legal expertise.
