As part of your child’s experience in The Student Leadership Experience with TLACA, your child will participate in Dallas City of Learning (DCOL), an education initiative and online platform designed to help students discover new interests, develop skills, and earn recognition for learning achievements.
DCOL is a partnership with the City of Dallas and Dallas Independent School District and is managed by Big Thought, a non-profit organization committed to closing the opportunity gap in Dallas. Some data you have provided, including student name, birth date, and student ID number will be shared with DCOL to enable your child’s participation.
The work that we do is because of you.
