| Speak Up Huntsville!
Your voice is important. Be a part of decisions that impact public schools, and that work for change and improvement. That’s why United Way is celebrating the power of parents and community with release of the findings from the School’s Foundation Speak Up Focus Groups throughout Madison County. Reports are being presented to the schools and you can view the results at www.speakupalabama.org or www.theschoolsfoundation.org.
Can't attend a Speak Up Focus Group but still want your voice to be heard?
For an investment of less than 10 minutes, you can...
1) watch an archived webcast of the Education Virtual Town Hall meeting and
2) let your voice be heard through United Way at http://townhall.liveunited.org/.
Log in/registration required.
These comments will be shared with The Schools Foundation as part of their listening to Madison County, Madison City, and Huntsville City citizens on the important idea of education.
