At CPLAN, we believe families, especially those from racially and economically marginalized communities, are key to reshaping education systems. We believe that all students deserve equitable access to high quality instructional learning, regardless of income, zip code, race, or ethnicity.
We strive to foster a supportive community where parents can access the resources, training, and support they need to become effective school partners and change agents within the education system.
Mission
CPLAN is a parent- led advocacy organization that seeks to inform, inspire, & empower parents to advocate for a more equitable education for their children.
Vision
Our vision is for all students to have access to a high quality education that prepares them for college, career, and civic life.
Core Beliefs
Our History
2016
Founded in 2016 by a group of passionate mothers, Collaborative Parent Leadership Action Network, CPLAN, emerged from a collective determination to stand up for our children's education. We realized that to create meaningful change, we needed to unite and collectively challenge the existing education system. After all, when many voices come together, they have a stronger impact.
Since then, CPLAN has grown into a statewide coalition of over 1,000 dedicated stakeholders in education, including: parents, educators, school leadership, and policymakers.
