Acerca de nosotros
Fundada en 2016 por un grupo de madres apasionadas, CPLAN (Red de Acción de Liderazgo Colaborativo de Padres) surgió de una determinación colectiva de defender la educación de nuestros hijos. Nos dimos cuenta de que para crear un cambio significativo, necesitábamos unirnos y desafiar colectivamente el sistema educativo existente. Al fin y al cabo, cuando muchas voces se unen, tienen un impacto más fuerte.
Desde entonces, CPLAN ha crecido hasta convertirse en una coalición estatal de interesados educativos dedicados, incluyendo padres, educadores, administradores y responsables de políticas.
En CPLAN, estamos impulsados por la creencia compartida de que la educación es la clave para desbloquear un futuro más brillante para todos los niños. Creemos que todos los estudiantes de escuelas públicas merecen acceso equitativo a opciones escolares de alta calidad, independientemente de sus ingresos, código postal, raza o etnicidad.
Entendemos el papel crucial que juegan los padres, miembros de la comunidad y el personal escolar en la creación de un sistema educativo más equitativo. Juntos, podemos abordar las persistentes inequidades educativas que obstaculizan el potencial de nuestros hijos.
Misión

Visión

Our Reshaping Community Wellness Initiative helps families and schools understand how healing, emotional intelligence, and mental health shape learning and school climate.
Parents Are
Leaders
Parents bring expertise, lived experience, and leadership to education. It is essential that they co-lead with schools to build a learning environment that fosters a sense of identity, safety, and belonging with purpose and direction.
We support parents with multilingual workshops, coaching, and leadership opportunities so they can step into decision-making spaces with confidence.
Decision-Making Should Be Shared
Family and community voice should guide school policies, ensuring they shape the systems their children depend on.
We support families to lead and participate in School Site Councils, advisory boards, and hiring committees, ensuring decisions are made with, not for, the community.
