| Purpose: |
The purpose of this state-funded grant program is to provide supplementary support to the Randolph Public Schools for the specific purpose of piloting a parent engagement program. |
| Priorities: |
These funds are intended to support the development of a Randolph Parents' Academy and Parents' Support Network to be operated by the Randolph Public Schools. The district must be able to demonstrate that the initiatives:
are grounded in current research and have a strong likelihood of measurable success;
address the role of parents in diversity education;
make a clear connection to goals and objectives in the Randolph Public Schools Turnaround Plan (May 23, 2008) approved by the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education;
include the development and dissemination of materials and training within Randolph and, to the extent possible, neighboring communities; and
address the issue of future sustainability in the absence of continuation funding.
