Strengthening Home to School Connections and Keeping Kids Safe: Tools, Resources, and Early Learnings from LA County’s Mandated Supporting Initiative
Schools play a vital role in keeping children safe, supported, and connected to caring adults. With the passage of AB 2085 and the shift from mandated reporting to community supporting, educators, school leaders, and community partners have new opportunities to reimagine mandated reporting as part of a broader framework of mandated supporting.
This presentation, hosted by PCA Sonoma County, introduces participants to the principles of mandated supporting, shares tools and training resources available to schools, and highlights early learnings from districts and charters that are piloting this approach. We will explore how strengthening home-to-school connections can prevent crises, reduce disproportionality in child welfare system involvement and foster equity-centered practices. Participants will walk away with practical strategies to practice and implement mandated supporting through stronger systems of care and collaboration that keep children safe while honoring family and community strengths and assets.
