As Black and African American students are our most marginalized student group (using both quantitative and qualitative data). The Black Parent Network (BPN) was established to build rapport with our Black and African American families in an effort to encourage trust and relationships. The ultimate goal is to foster school success from Pre-K to graduation. The BPN will promote cultural bridges between Waukegan Public Schools, and our Black and African-American students, and families.  The BPN will assist the Waukegan Public Schools to: increase Black and African-American parent engagement, enhance communication pathways for parents generally, and Black and African-American parents specifically, and identify critical needs to support students generally, and Black and African American students specifically.
The BPN was created in collaboration with our Department of Equity and Inclusion and Family and Community Engagement (F.A.C.E.) The BPN is open to all parents.
