KIPP Public Schools Northern California’s Post

We are proud to share a recent feature from the Yale School of Management featuring our Chief Equity and Strategy Officer Dr. Savina Woodyard! Savina discusses the pressing challenges faced by K-12 public education post-pandemic, particularly for students of color and those from historically under-resourced communities. Her reflections on her time at the Yale School of Management highlight the critical importance of strategic thinking, equity, and innovative leadership in education.

Meet Leslie Cruz Urquilla, a junior at KIPP San Francisco College Prep. She's determined to reach her Ivy League dreams, but in 2024, it's not just about acing the test; it's about finding a seat to even take the ACT or SAT. Limited testing centers, increased demand, and financial barriers are just a few of the obstacles students like Leslie are facing. Listen to her story in KQED's latest article: https://lnkd.in/gAwwBQWZ

Earlier this month, 13 dedicated parent leaders from KIPP Northern California traveled to Washington D.C. for a Hill Day event, amplifying the voices of our KIPPsters in the U.S. Congress. During their meetings with congressional representatives, these inspiring parents shared their stories and experiences within our schools. They advocated for increased resources for mental health support in schools nationwide, stronger policies to combat gun violence, and greater federal funding for charter schools. We are so grateful for our phenomenal parent leaders! #Advocacy #ParentLeadership
