Partnering with families, empowering communities, refocusing on educating children. Never underestimate the love a parent has for their children.
La Center School District stands firmly with parents. We respectfully disagree with the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction in their findings with the La Center School District. We will continue to advocate for policies that respect families, uphold constitutional protections, and ensure parents remain central in decisions affecting their children’s well-being.
