Parent Advocacy Group

The Boise School District is proud to announce the formation of its inaugural Parent Advocacy Group, a new initiative designed to strengthen trust, foster open communication, and bring diverse family perspectives directly into conversations with district leadership.

Kick off meeting

The Parent Advocacy Group will begin meeting in September 2025 and will work closely with Superintendent Lisa Roberts, as well as Deputy Superintendents Wendy Johnson and Nick Smith. The group includes parent representatives from each of the District’s four high school attendance areas, Boise, Borah, Capital, and Timberline, as well as at-large members representing elementary, junior high, and high school families across the district. 


The purpose of the Boise School District Parent Advocacy Group is to:

  • Foster meaningful collaboration between families and district leadership

  • Amplify parent voices in district decision-making

  • Promote community engagement across all schools

  • Build a network of informed parent advocates

  • Encourage constructive dialogue and shared learning

  • Support a well-rounded educational experience for all students

  • Strengthen communication between families and the district

  • Ensure a wide range of perspectives are heard, understood, and valued
