STATE UPDATES
Thank you to the leaders from our CCSSI grant states who participated in a meeting in Tampa, FL: Rob Acerra and Rose Acerra from New Jersey PTA, Debbie Tidwell and Sheila Ragland from Ohio PTA, and Linda Kearschner and Cindy Gerhardt from Florida PTA, along with team leaders from AL, CO and NV. Each state had an opportunity to share all of the amazing work they have been doing, learn about ESSA and plan for future work.
In addition, we were thrilled to have Laura Bay, National PTA President and Jacki Ball, Director of Government Affairs attend our meeting. Jacki presented on ESSA and both Laura and Jacki provided great input and insight throughout the weekend.
 
Ohio PTA’s HQAP Committee participated in an event at the Mega Church in Cleveland, OH on August 20, 2016. Workshops were presented on various subjects by Esperanza, Mega Resource Center, Julie Billiart School, Ohio Internet Against Crimes and the Cleveland Police Department. Ohio PTA presented on College and Career Readiness Standards and Assessments and provided lunch, door prizes and PTA information to attendees. A big shout out to HQAP Team Lead Lisa Mack, CCSSI Team Lead Debbie Tidwell, Pam Bonnett, Jeanne Groetz-Shockling, Susan Hans, and Maria Lang for great work! |
