What this document actually says
Policy 6020: Parent Involvement (Last revised March 12, 2024) recognizes that parents are children's first teachers and establishes the district's commitment to meaningful parent engagement. The policy requires the Superintendent to work with families to develop strategies for involvement in school activities, advisory roles, and at-home learning support. Parents must be notified of their rights to participate in their children's education and receive regular communication about student progress through conferences, report cards, newsletters, and other means. The district's Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) must include goals for parent involvement, especially for English learners, foster youth, low-income students, and students with disabilities. The Superintendent must regularly evaluate and report on the effectiveness of parent engagement efforts and identify barriers to participation.
