Pt 2 - Three critical ingredients for an effective school fundraising plan (Community)

I’m going into detail in this episode on the second of the “3 C’s” of an effective K12 development plan: Community. I’m sharing ways to create a true, authentic community within your school, starting with the parent-school relationship. Parents aren’t another tool to be managed, another check box on a to-do list. They want to belong and to be integrated in the life of your school. And they should be. They need to be your partners. 

 

In this episode I describe the three key characteristics I’ve seen in great schools across the US. How do great schools effectively create partnership and true community? I’m diving into transparency, mutual respect, and intentionality - and examples of what each looks like and how you can develop them.

 

“Community” is the second critical element of a K12 development plan and this is the second episode of a three part series.
