Important Update from Power2Parent Union!

P2P Union vs. P2PAction

P2P Union vs. P2P Action Dear Powerful Parents, Power2Parent has been serving families in Nevada (and beyond) for nearly 8 years! In that time we created two separate entities. One is a 501(c)(3) the other is a 501(c)(4). There are clear and distinct differences in these organizations missions and activities.  What’s a 501(c)(3)? The Definition: A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization is typically created for religious, charitable, educational, scientific, and/or educational intent. They are tax-exempt, conduct research, and are limited to an amount of lobbying, advocacy, or political activity. Donations to 501(c)(3) organizations are tax-deductible. Power2Parent Union Mission :  We unify, educate, and empower parents and community members to advocate for their children and their rights.  What’s a 501(c)(4)? The Definition: A 501(c)(4) is a “social welfare group” that can advocate for causes and propositions, like 501(c)(3)s. However, 501(c)(4)s can also endorse specific candidates – one of the most substantial differences between the two. While nonprofit organizations with this status are also tax-exempt, donations to 501(c)(4) groups are not tax-deductible. Power2Parent Action Mission: Power2Parent Action supports policies and candidates that work to protect education access, strengthen the family, and defend parental rights.  In order to serve our members better we are creating clearly defined, distinct social media accounts, websites, email lists, activities, and much more. All 501(c)(4) activity will be found at power2parentaction.org. Power2Parent Action has sent questionnaires to all the candidates to help gauge where they stand on issues that affect parental rights and education freedom.  Please visit the new website and follow all the Power2ParentAction social media channels on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter @p2pact to see which candidates are committed to elevating and empowering parents voices.  Power2Parent Union is still on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter @power2parent. Follow us! Parental rights are fundamental rights and we are committed to protecting and promoting these rights! Power2Parent  SIGN UP FOR TEXT ALERTS! TEXT PARENT TO 53445 and stay up to date!

Recap on CCSD's Revised Grading Policy & Invitation to K-12 Education Town Hall Series

Join us for an important discussion on improving education in Nevada

Recap on CCSD's Grading Policy Join Us for a K-12 Education Town Hall Series! Dear Powerful Parents, On Thursday evening, September 22nd the Board of Trustees were briefed on grading policy revisions that have been implemented over the last several years to prioritize the following: Implement an equal and balanced grading scale Remove behavior as part of the grading process Implement a consistent reassessment policy in order to ensure mastery of state standards and curriculum Implement consistent weighting and categories for classwork and final projects and exams While some of the changes are positive, there are concerns that making tests and quizzes 90% and homework 10% of the grade (beginning 2023) will mostly benefit students who test well, and make re-assessment and re-learning concepts more difficult for teachers. Former CCSD teacher and parent MaryAnn Powley expressed concern that the policy will not benefit students struggling in school, students with test anxiety or teachers who are being asked to find new tests to give the students to assess their mastery of a topic. No action was taken on this item at the meeting. Power2Parent will bring you more information on this topic. Join us on September 28th for a K-12 Education Town Hall Series! We all know education needs a major boost in Nevada. Join parents, educators and candidates for a discussion on ways our community can come together to meet the challenges we are facing in Nevada. Our own Erin Phillips, President of Power2Parent will be a panelist offering parent perspective in education. Please refer to the flyer for all the details.

Reminder: ACTION ALERT: Title IX Changes Hurt Children and Parents

Please Act Now

Title IX Changes Hurt Children and Parents Dear Powerful Parents, Title IX amended in 1972, regulates every public K-12 school, college, and university in the nation, prohibiting discrimination “on the basis of sex.” This regulation that impacts millions of children and families, is now being expanded by the U.S. Department of Education to include gender identity and sexual orientation.  "The new regulations would require K-12 schools to support socially transitioning children to a different gender without requiring notice to parents, the involvement of medical professionals, or legal documentation. These are life-altering decisions they are not qualified to make." - Child and Parents Rights Campaign This is a dangerous change that will allow schools and government agencies to circumvent parents when making decisions that affect the long-term health and safety of our children. It will also lead to increased calls to child protective services for families who choose to acknowledge biological realities in decisions regarding their child's health and well-being.  Children are harmed when parents are disempowered to make decisions that will impact them into the future. What can you do? Parents and concerned citizens only have until September 12th, 2022 to act.  Heres how to take action: Submit comments regarding the proposed Title IX regulation changes by clicking below. Be sure to put the Docket ID: ED-2021-OCR-0166 at the top of your comment. Submit your comments on or before September 12th, 2022.
