Phone Script:

If you do not have your district’s or school’s contact information, take a few minutes to do a Google search using the name of your child’s school or the name of the school district. Then, call the district or your child’s school directly and use the following script to guide your conversation.

Hello! My name is [YOUR NAME] , and I have a child that attends [NAME OF YOUR CHILD’S SCHOOL] . I am reaching out to see what opportunities there are for parents and community members to weigh in on how our district will be using its federal COVID relief and Student Opportunity Act dollars to support students, families and educators. I have heard that districts are currently revising their Student Opportunity Act plans and are supposed to involve families and other stakeholders in that process.

Can you please tell me where I can find upcoming opportunities to provide input, including meetings, town halls and surveys for students and families to offer feedback?

If you are not the right person to contact, can you please connect me with someone in the district who can answer these questions?
