DPN featured in Metro Times

Detroit Parent Network was featured in a Metro Times article over the holidays. The story by Sandra Svoboda addressed executive director Sharlonda Buckman's comments about NAEP scores, possible upcoming work with DPS, and also the success DPN has had over the years:

Buckman estimates 10,000 parents have been involved in at least one of the network's programs in Detroit, Hamtramck or Highland Park. These include parent leadership training, workshops on parenting skills or support groups for preventing child abuse or dealing with having a child in prison.

Check out the story, which wraps up with a quote from Sharlonda that sums up what DPN is all about:

"We believe that parents can solve their own problems with support," she says. "They do have solutions. Parents are powerful together. Every parent has something to offer."
