| IL | Signed into law 08/2005 | P-12 | Provides that by the beginning of the 2006-2007 school year, the State Board of Education shall by rule establish a parental participation pilot project to provide grants to the lowest performing school districts to help these districts improve parental participation through certain activities, including parent-teacher conferences, open houses, family nights, volunteer opportunities, and family outreach materials. Requires the pilot project to be for a period of at least 4 school years. Allows a school district to apply to the State Board for the establishment of a parental participation pilot project for the entire district or for a particular school or group of schools in the district. Requires the state board to select 4 school districts in specified geographic areas to participate in the pilot project. Requires the board, when selecting participants, to consider the following criteria:
(1) whether the district or school has any of the following problems and whether those problems can be mitigated or addressed through enhanced parental participation:
(A) low rates of satisfactory performance on state assessments;
(B) high rates of low-income students, limited English proficient students, dropouts, chronically truant students, and student mobility; or
(C) low student attendance rates; and
(2) the methods the district or school will use to measure the progress of the pilot project in the district or school.
Requires each participating district or school to establish a parental participation committee to assist in developing and implementing the parental participation pilot project. Requires the committee to develop an academic improvement plan that details how the pilot project should be implemented in the participating district or school, and to make recommendations to the local board on specified matters. Requires local boards to submit annual progress reports to the state board detailing the effect of the pilot project on the district or school. Provides for a review and final evaluation of the project. Amends the State Finance Act to create the Parental Participation Pilot Project Fund as a special fund in the state treasury. Repeals these provisions on December 31, 2010. Effective immediately. http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/publicacts/fulltext.asp?Name=094-0507

| DE | Signed into law 07/2005 | P-12 | Amends 2728 and 2729 of Title 14 to clarify that when both parents are listed on a student's school records and both parents are Delaware residents, they each are responsible for their child's school attendance. Reflects the view of the Truancy Task Force that both parents should be charged in this situation, not just the parent with whom the student primarily resides, since residence does not necessarily reflect legal custody. http://www.legis.state.de.us/LIS/lis143.nsf/vwLegislation/HB+109/$file/0801430123.doc?open
