Parents Bill of Rights

Parent Involvement in Education

  • The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education believes that parent and family involvement must be aggressively pursued and supported by our communities, in homes, schools/colleges/universities, neighborhoods, businesses, faith congregations, organizations and government entities by working together in a mutually collaborative effort. As such, the Board is committed to developing policies to effectively involve parents in schools and in their child’s education. N.C.G.S. § 115C-76.20(b)(3).

    All parents/families and educators must make family involvement in education a priority; thus, the Board commits to providing support and coordination for school staff and parents to implement and sustain appropriate parent involvement.

    Improved student achievement must be the equally shared responsibility and ultimate goal of parents, teachers, the school system as a whole, and the community at large. Thus, the Board commits to seeing that each school has effective volunteer programs to address student needs and commits to utilizing schools to assist students and families in connecting with community resources.

  • The Board commits that it will impact student achievement significantly by improving the quality and quantity of parent/family involvement. Consequently, the Board will provide guidance, support, cooperation, and the necessary funding to enable parents to become active partners in education.
