1.0 Policy Overview

The local governing board of each local educational agency (LEA) shall establish
and implement a written parent and family engagement policy. The LEA incorporates
the parent and family engagement policy into the LEA level plan.

1.1 Parent and Family Input

Parents and family members provide input into the development of plans at SSC,
ELAC, DELAC, and district surveys. The district will provide opportunities for family
engagement through flexible scheduling to increase accessibility for all families.

1.2 Communication

The LEA uses ParentSquare, school meetings, and district communication systems.
The district will streamline communication into a clear, consistent system and
provide families with advance notice of at least two weeks for major events. The
district will ensure parent communications and events are consistently accessible in
the primary languages of families through translation and interpretation services.

1.3 Academic Supports

The LEA provides Parent University, workshops, and resources. The district will
expand academic support by offering family workshops, tutoring opportunities, and
resources to help parents support student learning at home (academic support for
families).

1.4 Feedback and Accountability

The LEA evaluates the effectiveness of the policy annually. The district will provide
timely responses to parent input and concerns to strengthen transparency and
accountability. Annual evaluations of family engagement will include family feedback
on communication, scheduling, and inclusivity. Results will be shared publicly
and used to refine practices.
