POLITISIT -reimbursed child care
Parental involvement is key to staying engaged with our School Board and other elected officials,
but we know how difficult and expensive
it can be for parents who want to attend meetings.
Politisit is an organization that can help by reimbursing the cost of childcare
while attending political engagement meetings.
