Abstract
Despite varied approaches and efforts in public education, students of color and those impacted by poverty continue to lag behind their White peers in achieving academic success. This study explores the counter-narratives of parents and families of students in an urban school district in Washington State. It furthers situates the call for educators to explore and understand more deeply parent’s experiences in public education. A review of parents in leadership roles, the processes for informing and influencing change in policy and practice in school, and the role community plays in supporting parents and families to meaningfully have a voice in addressing equitable services in public education are also explored.
