Who We Are

The data shows that the coronavirus crisis has laid bare the economic and racial disparities that persist and preclude equal access to essential public goods. As a community, we must come together to partner with those who are most impacted by this crisis. We want every Charlottesville City School student to thrive. Consequently, we are committed to leveraging our networks and resources to raise funds to help address the most pressing needs of our neighbors. We recognize that by having an Advisory Committee that currently consists entirely of white PTO Chairs we will have blind spots. We are committed to centering Black, brown, and other historically underserved people and are actively seeking the participation of a more diverse group who will bring different perspectives to the table. Recognizing that partnership is necessary to alleviate the many inequities of the public school system, we are looking for Parent, Teacher, Administrator, and Equity Council (see 4. Equity Foundations) representatives to join the Advisory Committee and the following school-specific fund distribution committees. Please contact your school Principal or PTO (see links below) if you would like to be involved or have suggestions for the use of funds.
