 Terry Uyeki from the California Center for Rural Policy reported that
having a school climate that favors students being ready and able to learn,
incentives, alternative teaching methods and life and vocational skills where
areas the community though important to support students being engaged in
school and areas that are missing form education in Del Norte (see the report here).
Communication, a welcoming environment and
supports like childcare, translation and transportation were identified as necessary
for ensuring that parents are engaged and involved in decision-making to
support their students. Understanding the best ways to engage students and parents is critical
for student success and vital for the development of the Local Control

In the coming months the school district is required to
create an LCAP that includes information about the goals, services and spending
plan that address the needs of all students. The LCAP should reflect local
needs, local approached and local conversations. Forum participants discussed
in small groups the most important things the school district should be
considering when it begins to engage the community in the LCAP process, and
highlighted the need for meetings to meet families where they are and the
importance of relationships and personal invitations.
