“Families and communities need a way to piece together that picture and understand, how are the adults, how are the leaders, how are the elected school board members in my school or district really supporting my student? Do I think they’re getting the best possible suite of opportunities?” Parton said. “A [state] report card is really the entry point for that conversation.”
DQC’s Director of Policy and Advocacy Brennan McMahon Parton spoke with The 74’s Laura Fay about state report cards and how “clearer, easier-to-navigate school, district and state report cards help parents answer the bigger questions they have about their children’s schools and district.”
