Summary of Findings


Parent and Community Involvement

We need to increase and strengthen the involvement of parents, businesses, and the community in our schools and the District. Some of the major activities in this area are to focus parent training on helping children in their academic, emotional, and social growth; expand the family/student support and the adult education programs in the District; and to expand mentoring and partnership programs in our schools. We also need to continue to provide the educational alternatives program to recover student dropouts, increase adult participation in the community education program, and facilitate the services of parent and community volunteers in the schools and the District. The Parent Academy, parent helpline, quarterly community newsletter, monthly town hall meetings, and the conflict resolution training and services are all activities that need to be continued. The Parent and Community Partnership Network should continue to serve as an advocate for parents and community members and ensure that we improve and expand our communication and collaboration with them.
