Family Engagement Survey: Families' Input

What matters most for Family and School Collaboration?

This spring, the Washington State legislature asked our office (The Governor’s Office of the Education Ombuds) to research and recommend a model for how schools can best work with families and communities. Also, under the new law known as the “Every Student Succeeds Act” or “ESSA,” the US Department of Education is requiring each state to make a plan to support family and school partnerships. Washington State is working on its plan now.

We want to hear from you about what matters most to you as a parent or family member when schools reach out to you to work together. We will use this information when we make our recommendations to the state for a model. We will also share this with the leaders who are working on the state plan for family engagement under ESSA. Your input will help shape what collaboration looks like in Washington.
