PARENT AND FAMILY INVOLVEMENT

2541

A child’s education is a responsibility shared by the school and the family. Parents, families, schools, and communities working as partners can promote increased student achievement and positive attitudes about self and school. The Board of Education supports the development, implementation and regular evaluation of a comprehensive parental involvement program in each school to involve parents at all grade levels in a variety of roles.

In addition to school-based programs for parent and family involvement, the Board of Education supports the involvement of parents and families at the district level through participation in advisory councils, PTA Council, and other ad-hoc advisory groups to assist the administration and Board in policy and program development. The district should also develop a plan for using community resources to strengthen school programs, family practices, and student learning.  The Board authorizes the Superintendent or designee to develop related regulations and procedures.
