Family and Community Engagement Ad Hoc Committe Meeting - June 29, 2026

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education's Family and Community Engagement Ad Hoc Committee met on June 29, 2026, to discuss the development and refinement of a family engagement policy. The committee focused on defining key terms such as family agency and family influence, ensuring clarity in the policy language, and aligning the policy with district goals and frameworks like the community schools model. They debated the inclusion and regulation of community partners, emphasizing the need for alignment with district values and ethical standards, though deciding that detailed partnership policies would be addressed separately. The committee also reviewed proposed metrics and a theory of change to monitor and report on family engagement efforts, including attendance goals, satisfaction ratings, and accessibility of resources in multiple languages. While no direct procurement or contracting decisions were made, the discussion touched on policy implementation and resource coordination across schools. The committee aimed to finalize the policy language for referral to the policy committee for further deliberation and potential adoption.
