Sharing Power? An Experience of Mexican American Parents Serving on a Campus Advisory Council.

Pena, Delores C.

School Community Journal, v10 n1 p61-84 Spr-Sum 2000

Explores issues concerning representation, training, guidelines, and parent representative roles to determine how Mexican-American parents serving on an elementary school advisory council were involved in school decision-making. Parents' role may be minor, due to factors (like staff assumptions) resulting in unequal knowledge, respect, and resources. (Contains 42 references.) (MLH)
