Is your district’s communication strategy aligned with how families actually want to engage? 

82% of teachers report that positive parent communication leads to improved student behavior, according to SchoolStatus’ 2024 survey of 1,000 families, and 1,000 educators and administrators. Yet 67% say they lack time for proactive outreach–a resource gap that directly impacts student success and family participation. 

In this focused 30-minute Ed Talk, explore comprehensive research data from the study and hear directly from Sunflower County Consolidated School District about their journey to transform family engagement, including the challenges they faced and the strategies that improve family participation and engagement.
