District staff says PASA platform and IDOE grant support pursuit of Family‑Friendly Schools designation
Summary
District staff reported that West Lafayette Community School Corporation is pursuing the Indiana Department of Education Family‑Friendly Schools designation and using PASA, an IDOE-funded online platform, to collect family feedback; the designation was established by IDOE in 2015.
District staff told trustees the West Lafayette Community School Corporation is pursuing the Indiana Department of Education—s Family‑Friendly Schools designation and is using the PASA online platform to collect family feedback.
A presenter said funding for PASA was secured through IDOE—s digital learning family engagement grant. The presenter described PASA as an email- and text-capable, translatable tool intended to make it easier for families to provide feedback to schools. The board was told the IDOE Family‑Friendly Schools designation was created in 2015 to promote academic, physical, emotional and social supports and to foster family involvement in schools and the community.
Trustees heard that the designation process is robust and that each school must submit an application and supporting material as part of the review. The district plans to use the PASA platform to gather the family input required for application materials and to support translated access for families that may not use English as a first language.
No formal vote or final decision to apply was recorded in the excerpted discussion; the remarks were presented as part of the work session update on family engagement and the district—s use of grant-funded tools.
