Abstract	"America Goes Back to School" is a nationwide initiative of parents, educators, and community leaders who have become actively involved in improving education in their communities. This "partners' activity kit" is intended to raise public awareness about what students in the schools need, and describes ways that everyone in the community can fill a role in improving education. The kit contains several sections, including: (1) encouraging local and state lawmakers to issue proclamations and resolutions; (2) working with the media; (3) starting local partnerships and connecting with the Partnership for Family Involvement in Education; and (4) bringing the community together to learn more about timely issues in education through the U.S. Department of Education's Satellite Town Meetings. The kit includes examples of how various community groups work to improve learning and a section on President Clinton's Call to Action for American Education. This section contains: the Call to Action and discussion of answering the Call to Action, including information on safe and drug-free schools, reading, preparation for college, and family involvement; a proposed checklist for principals and a school team to begin implementing the Call to Action; and a sample Call to Action poster.
