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.

ANNUAL REPORT

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

CPLAN es una organización de defensa liderada por padres que busca informar, inspirar y empoderar a los padres para abogar por una educación más equitativa para sus hijos.

Visión

Nuestra visión es que todos los estudiantes tengan acceso a una educación de alta calidad que los prepare para la universidad, la carrera y la vida.

Mental Health in Schools

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.

2016

The Collaborative Parent Leadership Advocacy Network (CPLAN) is a nonprofit organization and statewide coalition committed to empowering parent leaders in education across Massachusetts. Grounded in principles of educational equity and mental health awareness, we endeavor to cultivate an inclusive, informed, and collaborative educational environment that uplifts students, families, and the broader school community.

Formed in 2016 by Julia Mejia and a dedicated group of parents, CPLAN empowers families to work as partners with schools in achieving equitable access to high-quality education for all students.

Since then, CPLAN has grown into a statewide coalition of over 1,000 dedicated stakeholders in education, including: parents, educators, school leadership, and policymakers.
