Family Voices: Improving Engagement and Input in Local Control Accountability Plans explores barriers and considerations for improvement to family engagement in the LCAP process from the perspectives of parents of English learners. Based on six focus groups conducted in English and Spanish, the publication assesses parents’ awareness of LCAPs, their experiences, and their perceptions of the LCAP’s impact on their child’s academic outcomes. Each section provides considerations for schools and districts to promote continuous improvement in authentically engaging families in the LCAP process.
Family Voices is a collaboration between Californians Together, The Alliance for a Better Community (ABC), Families In Schools (FIS), Parent Organization Network (PON), and Parent Institute for Quality Education (PIQE).
