Ohio’s Statewide Family Engagement Center Advisory Council
The Ohio Statewide Family Engagement Center is recruiting
members for our State Advisory Council. We
are seeking a diverse group of parents and caregivers of children birth to
Grade 12 from all regions of Ohio. You are invited to apply to be a part of
this wonderful opportunity to share your ideas about how Ohio families and
schools can work together to support the education of all children. Applications are limited to parents and
caregivers who are not professional educators or administrators.
The purpose of the Ohio Statewide
Family Engagement Advisory Council is to provide strategic advice and support

helping the Center develop and beta-test resources for families and educational
professionals.
