What do local child advocates and parents think the Rochester City School District should prioritize in its budget? The district will hold a hearing on the proposed budget on Tuesday.
In advance of the event, The Children's Agenda is inviting parents, caregivers, and child advocates to share their priorities. The organization is hosting a "Teach-In" on Monday.
This hour, we sit down with Eamonn Scanlon, director of community impact for The Children's Agenda, to discuss the nonprofit's priorities — including mental health, school climate, and transportation — and we hear from local parents who share their perspectives.
In studio:
- Eamonn Scanlon, director of community impact at The Children's Agenda
- Angela Colón-Rentas, FPA-P, NYCPS-P (credentialed peer advocate), senior youth/young adult peer service navigator for BIPOC PEEEEEEK, artist, RCSD parent, and member of the Very Invested Parents group at The Children's Agenda
- Isabel Rosa, parent of two RCSD students, and community and parent advocacy coordinator at The Children’s Agenda
