Parental Involvement
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) defines parental involvement as regular, two-way, and meaningful communication between parents and schools to ensure that parents are full partners in their child's/ children's educational experience.
NCLB research provides convincing evidence that children perform at higher levels both socially and academically when parents and educators regularly communicate and actively participate in enhancing student achievement.

Parental Involvement Policy
Parental Involvement at the District Level
District Parental Involvement Policy School districts must work with parents to reach an agreement on a parental involvement policy which describes how the district will:
-
involve parents in the joint development of the plan
-
provide the coordination, technical assistance, and other support necessary to assist participating schools in planning and implementing effective parental involvement
-
build capacity for strong parental involvement
-
coordinate and integrate parental involvement strategies with other programs such as Head Start
-
conduct an annual evaluation of the effectiveness of parental involvement
-
-
In addition, the law specifically requires local school districts to provide "full opportunities" for participation of parents who are disabled or who have limited English proficiency. Schools must provide information and school profiles in a language and format appropriate to the parents' communication needs.
