What is School Victories? School Victories is a tool for advocates, educators, and groups to plan, share, and inspire advocacy and organizing efforts aimed at improving public schools and creating excellent opportunities to learn for all students.
School Victories is starting a new initiative, Team Up!, in which member groups can help each other on specific advocacy efforts. Groups can help each other by spreading the word about research, policy, and other organizing activities. Click here to learn about specific projects.

We are in the process of developing a Parent Involvement group (Community School Partnership). This is an exciting time in our school district and we are capitalizing on the great efforts of the National PTA, various research groups & social change organizations across the United States. Our goal is to improve our district in each of the 6 Standards for Parent Involvement/Engagement and provide long-term benefit for all students & families in our district.
GCASD Title 1 is a 'targeted assistance program'. We want to provide parents with more opportunities to understand Title 1, have input into the Title 1 program within our district & learn ways to help their students at home.
