The meetings are also a platform where different voices are able to come together to discuss goals. In doing this, the CJUSD hopes to provide opportunities for all students to succeed. The meeting will also celebrate the cultural and academic achievements of the community. Topics discussed include: brainstorming activities regarding the educational journeys of students, resiliency, 21st. Century education, federal, state and local educational updates.
