Has CUEE compared parental involvement between school systems? —a parent @ LCBOE 4 October 2011

A parent (didn’t get her name; sorry) who said her children were in Lowndes County schools and she had gone to Valdosta City schools wanted to know if CUEE had collected any data to compare parental involvement between the two school systems.
Parental involvement is not as high as it should be… and the first step will be to start in everyone’s home….
[applause]
(Oh, and I can hear Roy Taylor in the background, so I take back what I said about he already left.)

Supt. Smith reminded us that when CUEE was asked if they were active in Community Partners in Education (CPIE) they said they weren’t aware such a thing existed. Then he agreed that education starts at home and cooperation among home, school, and community was needed to have any hope in solving educational problems.

Here’s the video:
