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 increasing collaboration between schools, students, families, and local communities. Key components of the policy will include 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 empowers families and community members in the educational process.

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 approach aims to foster a more inclusive and supportive educational environment that actively involves families and communities in the educational journey of students.
