Vision
Through meaningful family engagement, we envision a transformed school system that has directly confronted and actively addressed inequity and injustice so that every OUSD student graduates and becomes a fully engaged member of our community.

Mission
The mission of meaningful family engagement is to inspire, engage, and support the students, families, and communities of OUSD to become authentic co-owners of our schools who share responsibility for every student becoming college and career ready. Through community organizing, and by building OUSD capacity, we will expand participation in learning, leadership, and advocacy that results in high levels of
academic achievement and life opportunities for individual students, and for entire school communities.
