Our team of state and local federal programs experts researched ESSA Parent and Family Engagement communication requirements and created a comprehensive resource center so that you don't have to.
There is no concise federal guidance summarizing district responsibilities for Parent and Family Engagement, so federal programs administrators are left to research the requirements alone.
Civil Rights case law dictates that parent notifications are translated by qualified translators. Professionally translating and legally reviewing standard notices is expensive and time-consuming.
Federal programs are complex, and the law is not always clear, but your district is accountable to the law in the event of a monitoring visit. A Civil Rights finding is embarrassing and risky.

The result is a resource center to help you comply with federal law and authentically engage parents in a language they can understand.
