From The Department of Education blog:

On Tuesday, more than 150 people representing families, communities, state and local governments, philanthropy, federal agencies, practitioners, and support organizations joined the U.S. Department of Education at the National Policy Forum for Family, School, and Community Engagement. At the heart of the forum was discussion around systemic family and community engagement strategies that serve to promote student success.

It was nice to see that the DOE’s post about the event, at least, highlighted parent engagement/involvement efforts at non-charter schools. That hasn’t always been the case in the past (see Will Somebody Tell Secretary Duncan’s Staff That There Are “Regular” Public Schools Engaging Parents, Too?).

The blog post also says:

In the near future, we will be releasing a publication outlining the Forum’s highlights and resulting next steps; and the pre-meeting working paper will also be finalized and released.

I’ll look forward to seeing it…
