Parents and Caregivers Needed for Ohio’s Family
Engagement Advisory Council
Do
you want to have a voice in shaping Ohio’s new Statewide Family Engagement
Center? The Ohio State University is forming a Family Engagement Advisory
Council to share diverse perspectives on the resources to be developed by the
Center. The Council will be made up of a group of
about 20 family representatives, along with high school students, school
administrators, teachers, other education professionals/leaders in Ohio, and
representatives from businesses. They are seeking a diverse group of parents,
guardians, and caretakers of children from birth to Grade 12 throughout Ohio. Applications are due by December 1, 2018.
Expectations of Council members: (1) Attend meetings in
Columbus, Ohio four times between January and October of 2019, from 10 am until
2 pm. The first meeting will be on February 8th, 2019. Lunch and parking will
be provided. (2) Participate in Council discussions and activities for at least
one calendar year. Parent, guardian, and caretaker members will receive a
stipend of $60 per meeting, and will be reimbursed for mileage to and from
meetings.

application in Spanish, Arabic, Somali, and Chinese (simplified) will also be
