Getting Started
- Start small with 4-6 committed parents and grow from there
- Meet consistently, even if attendance varies from meeting to meeting
- Share leadership responsibilities to prevent burnout

Common Challenges
Low attendance, dominating voices, and scheduling conflicts are common challenges. Survey members about barriers, use structured discussion formats, offer multiple meeting times, and consider a hybrid approach with both in-person and online options.
