BoardNorthshore School District Study Session
The study session focused on the Family Engagement Taskforce's charge to provide recommendations for strengthening and scaling effective family engagement practices across the district, with a particular emphasis on families furthest from racial and educational justice. Key discussion points included a historical review of family engagement, an analysis of student data regarding performance, attendance, and discipline metrics, and the presentation of four potential staffing models for Family Engagement Specialists. The taskforce aims to deliver a multi-year implementation plan to the Superintendent, including refined vision approaches, staffing criteria, training strategies, and systems for empowering parent leaders.
