How School Leaders Can Help Connect Families to the Expanded Child Tax Credit

The Coalition on Human Needs and the Partnership for America's Children held a great resource webinar:  "How School Leaders Can Help Connect Families to the Expanded Child Tax Credit." They were joined by Superintendent Almi Abeyta and Daniel Mojica from Chelsea (Mass.) Public Schools, Deb Stein from Partnership for America’s Children and Sarah McKitterick from the Shah Foundation, who shared best practices and resources for helping families claim this critical benefit and a district’s experience conducting CTC outreach to families.
