The Maryland Plan for Family, School, and Community Involvement addresses the importance of families, schools, and communities working together to reach academic success for all students. To continuously improve public education in Maryland so that each learner from birth through the completion of high school acquires the skills and knowledge necessary to become a responsible citizen and to enjoy a productive life is the mission statement of the Maryland public school system. Six goals for the plan are identified: (1) Frequent and detailed communication about academic opportunities, student progress, and school-family partnerships; (2) School-community support for parenting skills and activities that prepare young children for school and promote ongoing achievement; (3) Support of at-home academic achievement by reading with children, helping them with homework and engaging in education activities; (4) Parental and community volunteer support of school improvement and student success; (5) Family-School-Community collaboration in education decisions affecting children, families and school improvement; and (6) Effective and efficient collaboration between the Maryland State Department of Education, local school systems, and community businesses, organizations and agencies. Strategies and activities for each goal are discussed. Appendixes include: (A) Request for Information; and (B) Measure of School, Family, and Community Partnerships.
