At a recent San Francisco government meeting, the voices of Chinese parents took center stage as they called for greater representation in educational discussions. Advocates from the Chinese Parent Advisory Council (CPAC) emphasized the need for their concerns to be heard and addressed within the school district.

During the meeting, a representative highlighted the importance of ensuring that every parent's voice is valued, particularly those from the Chinese community, which they described as "huge yet rather invisible." The speaker urged for CPAC to be officially recognized, seeking equal representation and communication channels similar to those enjoyed by other advisory bodies like the African American Parent Advisory Council (AAPAC) and the Pacific Islander Parent Advisory Council.

The push for inclusion reflects a broader desire for diverse voices in educational policy-making, aiming to ensure that all communities are represented in discussions that affect their children’s education. The meeting concluded with a call for action, as advocates expressed hope for a more inclusive approach moving forward.
