Introduction:
The Radio Outreach Collaborative has been
established to provide parents and community members timely information
related to education of their children. This service is sponsored by
Sacramento City Unified School District, Folsom-Cordova Unified School
District, and San Juan Unified School District to support parent
involvement in schools and the education of their children.
Weekly broadcasts in 5 languages (Hmong,
Mien, Russian, Spanish, and Vietnamese)
serve to provide listeners information about district or school events,
assessment and testing schedules, the curriculum and materials in use,
health issues, guidance on parenting issues, and resources in the
community among the key topics.
The radio hosts
are mostly staff from the Sacramento City USD and they have received
training on a broad spectrum of educational issues, needs of parents, and
resources available to parents.
Dr. Lue Vang,
Student Success Specialist with Sacramento City USD, serves as the person
who coordinates the broadcasts. He can be reached at (916) 643-9089 for
