Brockton Chapter
CPLAN was initially founded in Boston and quickly expanded to a statewide initiative. In 2018, one of our dedicated parent leaders, displaced from Boston due to rising housing costs, relocated to Brockton. With the support of Brockton’s welcoming community and its dedicated school staff, she launched the Brockton Chapter, which has since grown steadily, building strong connections and empowering families within the district. This chapter continues to foster meaningful family engagement and advocate for equitable education across the city.
DiPAC
(District wide Parent Advisory Council)
The purpose of the DIPAC is for parents and community members to work in solidarity with the Brockton Public School administration to reach the common goal of improving student’s educational experience to support academic success, while meeting their social and emotional needs. This work includes parents co-designing systems through decision making, developing equitable policies & practices.
