Nevada's Parent Involvement Policy

Empowering parents to participate in their children’s education.

The Nevada State Board of Education recognizes that parental involvement is the key to academic achievement. The term parent refers to any caregiver who assumes responsibility for nurturing and caring for children. Studies demonstrate that when parents are involved in their children’s education, the attitudes, behaviors, and achievement of students are positively enhanced.
