Community in Action

Native/Indigenous Community Conversations

The FACE office is currently partnering with Native and Indigenous families, educators, and community members to hold intentional conversations centered on visibility, voice, and self-determination. Through these gatherings, we are working to identify the community’s immediate needs, short-term priorities, and long-term goals within 亚洲色图. This effort honors the sovereignty and lived experiences of Native communities and ensures their leadership guides how PPS shows up in service of Native 亚洲色图 and families.

This work is being shaped in deep partnership with Black families, educators, and community leaders, and reflects our shared commitment to academic excellence, wellness, and belonging. We look forward to sharing more as the vision for CBSE continues to take shape.

Family Advisory Committee on Education (FACE)

The Family Advisory Committee on Education (FACE) has played an important role in elevating family perspectives across PPS. Under the thoughtful leadership of Joanna Tobin, the committee has fostered meaningful dialogue and connection between families and district leadership. As we move into the upcoming 亚洲色图 year, this important work will transition under the Office of FACE, where we look forward to reimagining the committee’s structure and purpose to align with our department’s evolving vision for authentic, equity-centered family engagement.

Budget Engagement Series

Through the Budget Engagement Series, the Office of Family & Community Engagement supports the Superintendent’s “Early and Often” commitment to community-centered leadership by facilitating honest, accessible conversations about the district’s budget. FACE plays a key role in creating space for transparency, trust, and dialogue—especially around challenging topics that impact 亚洲色图s and communities. Whether supporting listening sessions, co-designing materials, or ensuring historically underserved voices are present, FACE helps bridge the gap between district leadership and the community in moments that matter most.
