The partnership with CHAI will result in members of the organization providing workshops for school system counselors so that they have a better sense of the needs of South Asian students and families. The organization will also find interpreters to assist the school system. In addition, the organization will also provide speakers for international student leadership programs and parent education events.
"We have folks from all over the world in our school system," said Superintendent Sydney L. Cousin. "We want to welcome folks from these diverse cultures into the school system. A good way is to build these partnerships so that we have a formal way of including these cultures and communities. "
