SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The 2003 legislature enacted the Family and School Partnership for Student Achievement Act, section 1002.23 Florida Statutes. The law requires each district to develop a parent guide that includes general information regarding services for parents, rigorous academic opportunities for students, education choices, accommodations for students with disabilities, and local district information. In addition, each district is required to adopt rules that strengthen family involvement and to develop a self-assessment checklist for parents.
In collaboration with the St. Petersburg Times, a Parent's Guide to Hillsborough County Public Schools is published and distributed to school sites. The parent checklist and family involvement rules are contained within the guide. Each student receives a copy of the guide to take home. Both English and Spanish editions are distributed. In addition to the distribution that occurs through the school site, a copy is inserted into the newspaper by the publisher for distribution to all subscribers. This publication was reviewed by the Office of External Communications before going to print. Copies of this document were placed at each school site prior to this school board meeting. Changes were made to the district calendar after the document was released to the schools. Principals have been notified of all changes and asked to reflect the changes in their newsletters and other publications released to students and parents. A website with calendar updates can also be found at www.sdhc.k12.fl.us/INVOLVEMENT/Parent_Family/index.asp.ANNUAL DISTRICT GOAL(S) AND CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR(S)
