Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson’s school advocacy organization has just announced a partnership to work with Sacramento schools on parent involvement issues.

The Mayor’s education agenda is generally, I think, not very helpful to students, teachers, or parents, and his organization is funded by the Eli Broad Foundation (you can read more about this at The Eli Broad Foundation Comes To Sacramento), so I’m very wary and skeptical about what might come out of this arrangement.

However, I think the staffperson who is directly in charge of these parent efforts has good intentions, so I’d be happy to be surprised.
