The Department held a National Policy Forum for Family, School, and Community Engagement on November 9. Several senior officials from the Department and other education stakeholders delivered remarks or participated in panel discussions, focusing on the shared responsibility and best practices to support children’s learning, from cradle-to-career, in the home, school, and community. The Administration is proposing to double funding for parent and family engagement -- from 1% to 2% of Title I funding, or a total of $270 million. At the same time, in order to drive innovation, it will allow states to use another 1% of Title I funding, roughly $145 million, for grant programs that support, incentives, and help expand school district-level, evidence-based parental involvement practices.
