Parent Participatory Evaluation Themes:

• Parents feel the MPS academic experience does not reflect and value the languages, cultures, and histories of MPS students.

• Parents expect staff to create safe learning environments by addressing issues of bullying and student conflict.

• Parents need better communication about schools’ expectations for behavior, as well as equitable treatment in response to behavior.

• Parents of students in Special Education programming want to better understand Special Education services and the progress their child is making.

• Parents want to be partners in their child’s education, but need schoolwide structures to support them in this role.

• Parents seek more positive communication from the District and their child’s school.

• Parents want to be able to communicate with school staff, but often do not find multilingual staff or interpreters at MPS schools.

• Parents find it essential that schools make their cultures visible by creating and displaying culturally-specific works and languages, and acknowledging important cultural holidays.

• MPS must prioritize hiring staff who represent the students who attend schools in the District.

• Parents want MPS staff to know more about their students’ cultural histories, values, and practices.

• It is important to many parents that MPS provide transportation to all students.

Youth Participatory Evaluation Findings:

• Relationships (student-to-staff and student-to-student) are impacted by student identity (race/ethnicity and gender), the presence or lack of trust, and a perceived belief gap.

• Students feel school policies are enforced inequitably based on student identity and require modifications.

• Student learning is impacted by a school culture and environment that often lacks diversity, engaging and culturally relevant curricula, and positive student-teacher relationships.
