During the 2008-2009 school year Prince George's County Public Schools developed a campaign to increase the level of engagement between fathers and other significant male role models in the academic lives of its students. As a result of efforts by administrators, school staff, teachers, community based organizations and government agencies, over 70,000 fathers and significant male role models were connected with their children schools.
The increase in male engagement was apparent in areas such as volunteerism and classroom observations. For the upcoming 2009-2010, Prince George's County Public Schools are asking men in Prince George's County,Maryland to take a stake in schools and volunteer at least 5 hours of service to a school of their choice.
