Community Advocacy and Parental Engagement is clearly what will move a school to higher heights meaning achievement and accreditation. However, when the Parental Engagement is absent what is a school to do? Go to the community and build partnerships just don't complain, invest in parent liasons, just don't complain, invite college stduents to mentor or tutor, just don't complain.
If the mission is important then the message should be too - Get involved for the children's sake.

Urban districts continue to face problems with assigning students to schools where students want to actually attend. Sometimes it is overcrowding or sometimes oversubscription. The answer some say is to duplicate what is going on in the oversubscribed or overcrowded school in strategic areas throughout the districts.
