This bill mandates the State Board of Education to develop and adopt a model policy aimed at enhancing community engagement within schools by December 1, 2025. The proposed model policy will focus on several key areas, including integrated student supports to address both academic and nonacademic barriers, extended learning opportunities beyond the traditional school day, collaborative leadership practices that involve various stakeholders, and authentic family engagement that fosters meaningful interactions among parents, students, educators, and community members.

Additionally, the bill allows individual school districts to adopt their own engagement policies, provided that these policies align with the model policy established by the State Board of Education. This initiative seeks to strengthen the connection between schools, students, families, and the surrounding communities, ultimately promoting a more supportive educational environment.
