Senate testimony on HB 1057: Concerning parental involvement in kindergarten through 12th grade education

This bill represents a net opportunity gain for Colorado. Parental involvement is one of the most important elements in children’s academic success. By making it possible for more parents to attend parent-teacher conferences and other specified academic activities, the bill takes an important step toward closing the state’s achievement gaps, reducing the dropout rate and increasing the number of students who successfully transition to post-secondary educational opportunities.
