Family Engagement

LEAs must write and implement a Family Engagement Plan associated with the district's Prekindergarten program. 

Per statute: 

A school district shall develop and implement a family engagement plan to assist the district in achieving and maintaining high levels of family involvement and positive family attitudes toward education. (TEC §29.168(a))

The Commissioner's Rule: 

A school district or an open-enrollment charter school shall develop, implement, and make available on the district, charter, or campus website a family engagement plan to assist the district in achieving and maintaining high levels of family involvement and positive family attitudes toward education. An effective family engagement plan creates a foundation for the collaboration of mutual partners, embraces the individuality and uniqueness of families, and promotes a culture of learning that is child-centered, age-appropriate, and family-driven. (TAC 102.1003(f))
