Family Advocacy Board

We are WA FAB, a family-led network of charter school parents, caregivers, and teachers. Based on our personal experiences, we share relevant information to help families, teachers, and staff navigate the charter public school system and offer peer to peer guidance to families when issues arise in their student’s school.

Our Mission: We exist to support the success of innovative public charter schools in Washington State and their communities. We create safe spaces for all to share their authentic voices. We are advocates for equitable learning. We amplify the voices of our communities. 

Our Vision: The Family Advocacy Board (we go by WA FAB on the playground) is a family-led network of Washington State's public charter school community uniting to care for, support, and learn from each other as we care for our children and work for their success. 

What We Do: 

• We advocate for increased and authentic charter family and authorizer collaboration.
• We provide direct advocacy support and online workshops for families of charter students with disabilities and families with other concerns.
• We work to support charter families and schools through challenging situations.
