Program accomplishments

  • IN 2024, MINNESOTA PARENTS ALLIANCE (MPA) BUILT ON THE SUCCESS THAT WE ACHIEVED IN OUR FIRST TWO YEARS BY CONTINUING TO OFFER ONLINE AND IN-PERSON EVENTS AND RESOURCES TO EMPOWER PARENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO PLAY AN ACTIVE, INFORMED ROLE IN LOCAL K-12 EDUCATION. IN SPRING 2024, MPA HOSTED THE FIRST EVER TWIN CITIES EDUCATION FREEDOM SHOWCASE FOR FAMILIES TO LEARN AND EXPLORE UNCONVENTIONAL OPTIONS IN K-12 EDUCATION. PRESENTERS INCLUDED NATIONAL AND LOCAL EXPERTS IN PRIVATE, MICRO, HYBRID AND HOMESCHOOL OPTIONS FOR A FULL-DAY AGENDA AND OVER 30 EXHIBITORS SHOWCASING K-12 PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE TWIN CITIES AND SURROUNDING AREA. MPA ALSO CONTINUED TO EXPAND OUR INTERACTIVE WEBSITE AND EDUCATIONAL VIDEO LIBRARY AND LEVERAGED OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS TO DELIVER TIMELY INFORMATION AND CALLS TO ACTION AND EQUIP MINNESOTANS WITH THE FACTS THEY NEED TO BE EFFECTIVE ADVOCATES FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT AND ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN A BOTTOM-UP APPROACH TO EDUCATION REFORM. THROUGHOUT 2024 MPA'S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR DELIVERED IN-PERSON AND ONLINE PRESENTATIONS TO DOZENS OF PARENT GROUPS ACROSS THE STATE ON CURRENT TOPICS IN K-12 EDUCATION, MPA'S MISSION, AND PARENT-CENTERED ENGAGEMENT IN PUBLIC EDUCATION. IN 2024 MPA NEARLY DOUBLED THE NUMBER OF ELECTED SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS IN OUR LEADERSHIP NETWORK FROM 100 REPRESENTING 40 DISTRICTS STATEWIDE, TO 180 REPRESENTING 75 DISTRICTS STATEWIDE. MPA PROVIDED A WIDE RANGE OF SUPPORT, GUIDANCE AND MONTHLY OPPORTUNITIES FOR MEMBERS TO COLLABORATE AND IDENTIFY EFFECTIVE WAYS TO IMPROVE LOCAL LEADERSHIP AND GOVERNANCE. IN 2024 WE HELD OVER 20 PRESENTATIONS FOR THE COHORT ON KEY ISSUES IMPACTING K-12 EDUCATION AND LOCAL GOVERNANCE AND PROVIDED ON-DEMAND, CUSTOMIZED SUPPORT IN NAVIGATING CHALLENGES AND LEADING CHANGE, INCLUDING A NEW 5-PART "LEARNING TO LEADING" SERIES TO HELP NEWLY ELECTED MEMBERS ACCELERATE THEIR ABILITY TO DRIVE SWIFT AND EFFECTIVE CHANGE.IN 2024 MPA HOSTED THREE IN-PERSON CAMPAIGN SCHOOLS ATTENDED BY OVER 60 POTENTIAL CANDIDATES AND INTERESTED COMMUNITY MEMBERS. IN AUGUST 2024, MPA PUBLISHED OUR THIRD-ANNUAL STATEWIDE SCHOOL BOARD VOTER GUIDE AND PROMOTED IT USING A DIGITAL MARKETING STRATEGY THAT RESULTED IN OVER 3.8 MILLION DIGITAL IMPRESSIONS. 80% OR 47 OUT OF THE 59 DISTRICTS REPRESENTED BY CANDIDATES IN THE MPA VOTER GUIDE ELECTED AT LEAST ONE OR MORE MPA-RECOMMENDED CANDIDATES. IN THOSE DISTRICTS, 68% OR 32 MPA-RECOMMENDED CANDIDATES RECEIVED THE MOST VOTES IN THEIR AT-LARGE ELECTION. IN ALL, THERE WERE 80 MPA-RECOMMENDED CANDIDATES ELECTED STATEWIDE IN 2024 AND FOLLOWING THE ELECTION, OVER 40 MPA-ALIGNED MEMBERS WERE ELECTED AS CHAIR OR VICE CHAIR OF THEIR BOARD.AS A RESULT OF OUR CONSISTENT SUCCESS, MINNESOTA PARENTS ALLIANCE CONTINUED TO BE FEATURED BY LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL MEDIA OUTLETS IN 2024, HIGHLIGHTING OUR EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE WORK EDUCATING AND EMPOWERING PARENTS TO PLAY A MORE ACTIVE ROLE IN THE FUTURE OF K-12 EDUCATION.
