Clarity Innovations an Oregon Education Champion

Greater community involvement is crucial for our public schools. We believe that quality education comes from a commitment to being involved and engaged in helping to bring this about. Today, we join the honor roll of companies recognized for adopting specific policies and practices that encourage school involvement and volunteerism.

"Our staff are encouraged to use flextime to get involved in school activities, spend a few minutes checking their child's progress or review homework assignments, and lend their expertise in local schools," says President/CEO, Thor Prichard. "To us, it's a no-brainer if we really want to achieve our vision for education."

Most Oregonians say greater community involvement is crucial for our public schools. And most Oregonians want to be more involved. The two biggest barriers — according to the Chalkboard Project's statewide survey — are time and conflicts with work. By implementing these policies, Clarity Innovations is helping bring about the real change necessary to make a difference.

Clarity Innovations is a professional services firm working to provide our clients the expertise necessary to meaningfully transform the process and practices of education. We are recognized for our collaborative approach, hybrid of expertise, and ingenuity for innovation. The Employer-Classroom Connection Challenge is a joint project of the Chalkboard Project, E3: Employers for Education Excellence and the Oregon Business Plan.
