Type 5 - Decision Making

How does your technology center include families as participants in technology center and district decisions?

• Do you have parents that sit on advisory committees for the technology center?
  
• Do they sit on advisory committees for career majors?
  
• Does your technology center have a parent committee like a PTO or PTA that gives input into what is happening on campus?

How do you develop parent leaders and representatives?

• Do your involved parents represent the ethnic and economic diversity that is present in your district?
  
• What type of information is shared on your website?
  
• Does it help parents understand what is happening at the technology center or at Board meetings?
  

How "Family Friendly" is your technology center? By developing a culture that embraces the family, you open the possibility for dialogue to exist that will result in parents sharing their concerns, leading to a better learning environment for our students.
