III-B: Engagement

  1. Family Engagement: Engages with families in an equitable and collaborative manner by:

    • Working with staff and families (e.g., SEPAC, ELPAC, etc.) to identify and remove barriers to all families' involvement.

    • Providing a variety of frequent, inclusive, and culturally and linguistically sustaining opportunities for all families to engage as partners in the school community.

    • Clearly communicating information about family engagement opportunities in ways that are accessible to all members of the community and that adhere to open meeting laws.

  2. Community and Stakeholder Engagement: Establishes strategic relationships with community organizations, community members, and businesses either individually or through district initiatives and partnerships. Engages them to maximize community involvement in the school and family access to community resources.
