Creating Family Partnerships: A NYS Education 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 of New York invite you to discuss a 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.
The Taconic Region PTA urges all members to attend one of the forums. They are scheduled in seven regional locations during October, November and December 2006.
