Consultative Committee with Parents (CCwP)
The CCwP is a forum that gives parents from across the city the chance to discuss citywide and national issues with members of our staff and other groups.
The CCwP meets four times a year. Agendas and papers are sent out one week before the meetings. Each agenda is planned by four parents from the CCwP.
