School is out. Do I need to secure letters of support from parent organizations or school staff and faculty?
As stated in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Call for Proposals, letters of support are requested from the sponsoring agency, the host schools, parent organizations, and, as appropriate, dental and mental health organizations. In addition to Parent-Teacher Organizations, parents also participate in advisory committees for Chapter 1 schools, may be active in local school management teams, belong to parent booster clubs for sports activities or be involved in advocacy for students with disabilities. The goal is to demonstrate parent awareness of and support for the proposed program.
