Meet Our Parent Organizers
Our Parent Organizers, Marian and Ursula are very active in the Sacramento City Unified School District, and they will be able to assist with questions and complaints concerning the academic achievement of your children.
Marian and Ursula assist several parents navigating the IEP process in the district. They sit in on School Site Council meetings to advocate for the educational needs of Black children, while also consistently working to encourage Black parents to get involved with the BPSB.
Marian and Ursula are valuable resources to BPSB and Black community.
All parents know how important the academic success of their children is to their growth and wellbeing.
African Americans have historically fought hard for public schooling and the rights of their children to receive a quality education, despite forms of racial discrimination. Black parents know how important the academic success is to the growth and wellbeing of their children.
Despite the challenges of COVID-19 pandemic, Black parents in the Sacramento City Unified School District, as well as across the country have been meeting the challenges of insuring their children get the resources and education the need.
Over ten years ago, St. Paul Public School in Minnesota started hosting a National African American Involvement Day on the second Monday of February. Since 2015, BPSB has continued that tradition locally with Black Parent Involvement Day for the purpose of encouraging parents to be actively knowledgeable their children’s education.
