. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) It is essential to our democratic form of government that
parents and guardians of schoolage children attending public schools
and other citizens participate in improving public education
institutions. Specifically, involving parents and guardians of pupils
in the education process is fundamental to a healthy system of
public education.
(b) Research has shown conclusively that early and sustained
family involvement at home and at school in the education of children
results both in improved pupil achievement and in schools that are
successful at educating all children, while enabling them to achieve
high levels of performance.
(c) All participants in the education process benefit when schools
genuinely welcome, encourage, and guide families into establishing
equal partnerships with schools to support pupil learning.
(d) Family and school collaborative efforts are most effective
when they involve parents and guardians in a variety of roles at all
grade levels, from preschool through high school.
