PALs

Parents As Leaders (PALs)

Is a program for all parents, grandparents, and guardians interested in becoming trained in parent leadership. The BCSD PALs program was featured in June, 2016 in a Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) Report as a school district demonstrating best practices in family engagement. With the support of FACE Liaisons, PALs will be provided tips and skills to support students’ academic success.
