Family Engagement Standards and Parental Involvement

Under the Every Student Succeeds Act, the District of Columbia must meet certain minimum requirements for family engagement. Local education agencies receiving Title I funds in particular must meet certain obligations under the federal law. The State Board is committed to approving and maintaining state standards that promote effective and enriching parent and family engagement in all District schools.
