PUSD - Event will honor late Co-Chair Mark Leon

PUSD HOLDS MUIR COMMUNITY FORUM ON PARENT INVOLVEMENT AND STUDENT SUPPORT SYSTEMS
Event will honor late Co-Chair Mark Leon

Pasadena, CA - Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) will convene the third community forum on the Reinvention of John Muir High School (Muir) on May 15. The event, which will be held at Robinson Park, will bring parents, students, community members and staff together to discuss issues related to improving parent involvement and building support systems for students facing challenges outside of the classroom

The Reinvention Team’s Parent Engagement and Student Support sub-committees will present preliminary reports to attendees, before leading small group discussions where participants can provide feedback before the plans are approved for implementation next year. Participants will learn about successful parent and community support systems established by other schools and have an opportunity to recommend strategies to strengthen community involvement at Muir.

Superintendent Edwin Diaz and Parent Engagement Team co-chair Dr. Gerda Govine will also celebrate the life and contributions of co-chair Mark Leon, whose sudden death surprised and saddened many who worked with him on the Reinvention effort over the past year.
