SUMMARY: Proclaims September 28, 2016, as Parent Advocacy Day.
Specifically, this resolution makes the following legislative
findings:
1)A critical dimension of effective schooling is parent
involvement and research has shown conclusively that parent
involvement in a child's education at home improves pupil
achievement, and when a parent is involved at school, his or
her child goes farther in school.
2)Regardless of family income or background, pupils with
involved parents are more likely to have higher grades and
test scores, attend school regularly, have better social

skills, show improved behavior, and adapt well to school.
3)The most accurate predictors of pupil achievement in school
are not family income or social status but the extent to which
the family creates a home environment that encourages
learning, communicates high yet reasonable expectations for
the child's achievement, and becomes involved in the child's
education at school.
4)When a parent is involved in school, the performance of all
children at school, not just the parent's child, tends to
improve, and the more comprehensive and well planned the
partnership between school and home, the higher the pupil
achievement.
5)California's school funding system, the Local Control Funding
Formula, requires all school districts to involve parents in
planning, decision making, and developing and reviewing local
control and accountability plans.
6)The State Board of Education recognizes that a child's
education is a responsibility shared by school and family
during the entire period the child spends at school, and it is
important that school districts and schools, in collaboration
with parents, teachers, pupils, and school administrators,
establish and develop efforts that enhance parent involvement
and reflect the needs of pupils and families in the
communities in which they serve.
