Education - Engagement Policies and School Compact (Maryland Public Education Parental Partnership Act)

Summary

The bill mandates that every county board of education develop a written parent and family engagement policy before the 2027‑28 school year, and that each public school draft a Parent‑School Compact for the 2028‑29 year onward. The State Department of Education must provide guidance and technical assistance to help boards and schools meet these requirements. The goal is to give parents clearer roles, more participation opportunities, and better communication with schools.
