The Logan Square Neighborhood Association (LSNA) is a Chicago organization that, since 1997, has conducted a successful in-depth, parent-school collaboration program in nine schools on the northwest side of the city that represent about 10,000 students, or 2.5 percent of Chicago Public Schools' (CPS) total enrollment. It is a high-minority, high-poverty, urban community with a 95 percent population of non-English-speaking Latino immigrants. Through a range of programs, including classroom parent mentoring and home literacy visits by parent-teacher teams, the association trains immigrant parents to become mentors, assist teachers in their children's schools, learn English, earn General Education Development degrees, and become active in the community. When Chicago's Office of New Americans was initiated last July for the stated purpose of making Chicago "the most immigrant-friendly city in the world," Mayor Rahm Emanuel held up LSNA as a model of parent engagement that other schools in the district should emulate. Alberto Carvalho, president of the Association of Latino Administrators and Superintendents, says the Logan Square Association is the ultimate example of immigrant parents taking control and finding success for their children. Carvalho added that the ultimate goal is to empower parents, to get them involved as active participants in their children's education.
