The session will also highlight the role of school site councils, ELACs, and advisory councils in shaping school culture and policy, while showcasing partnerships with community organizations and central office support. A practical introduction to the GCC Family Resource Guide and the services provided by CED specialists will equip attendees with tools they can use immediately in their work.
