Episode Synopsis

This episode of Education Insight features Marissa Lazo-Necco, Project Manager for Family and Community Engagement at the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools. Drawing from her own journey as an English learner and decades of work across more than thirty districts, Marissa shares how schools can build authentic relationships with families—especially those who have historically felt unheard or excluded.Through personal stories, restorative practices, and equity-driven strategies, she explains what effective family engagement actually looks like day-to-day, how parents become co-designers in school culture, and why trust is the foundation of every strong school-family partnership.Whether you're an educator, a parent, or simply someone who cares about the future of our communities, this conversation shines a light on the transformative power of listening, belonging, and working together.
