Description

Local Solution
(Type of Activity: Community Program Implementation )

Schedule meetings at accessible times (evenings, weekends, outside school pickup hours)

Existing Examples of Progress: Mandated Saturday meetings with pre-distributed questions: After resistance to weekday-only sessions, advocates forced an agency to hold Saturday meetings with questions sent out in advance. This created accountability (agencies had to come prepared with answers) and expanded access for working families
Region: Los Angeles
