HB 679 -- Parental Involvement in Education

Sponsor:  Kraus

This bill requires the State Board of Education to adopt a policy
by December 1, 2005, that encourages effective family involvement
in education.  The policy would apply when the state board
interacts with school districts, parents, and members of the
general public.  The state board will consult with local
districts to assist in the development of similar district
policies, which must be adopted no later than March 1, 2006.
Both the state board and local school boards' policies must
promote, among other goals, communication, support and
recognition of the role parents play, and inclusion of parents as
full partners in educational decision-making.  These policies
must be reviewed at least once a year.
