Family & Community Engagement Report

Background:
|
MPS operates within a family and community engagement framework which includes six standards that provide districtwide support to schools for partnering with families to increase student outcomes:
1. Schools are welcoming and culturally relevant environments
2. Schools are connected to the community
3. Schools have tools and knowledge needed to build relationships with families and the community
4. Families have avenues to serve as leaders
5. Families have opportunities to build peer networks
6. Families have tools and knowledge needed to be active in their child’s educations
All schools strive to meet these standards to provide an equitable standard of care across the district. The framework was developed from a strength-based approach to build trusting relationships between schools and families. This report is on the work being done relative to standards 4, 5, and 6. The District Advisory Council (DAC) is an example of ongoing efforts aligned to all three standards. The Department of Strategic Partnerships and Customer Service’s Family and Community Engagement team (FACE) provides the DAC with guidance and logistical support. The goal of the DAC is for MPS families to have input into key decisions affecting the district, schools, and students. MPS is working to empower families at the district level. One of the primary strategies to accomplish this is through the DAC.
