Creating Family Partnerships: A Public Forum on Improving How We Serve Parents and Families

In 2005, the New York State Board of Regents convened an internal workgroup to review the 1991 Regents policy statement entitled: “Parent Partnerships: Linking Families, Communities, and Schools.” Following a round of public meetings in the 2005-2006, the internal workgroup presented the Regents with a proposed policy revision.  The Regents and the State Education Department invite you to discuss the proposed policy revision on supporting families in their children’s education and in holding schools accountable for academic achievement.  This forum is designed to solicit comment from the public on ways in which the Regents, the State Education Department and the schools, colleges, universities, libraries, museums, and other institutions that collectively comprise the University of the State of New York can strengthen family partnerships across New York State.
