CSC Resources
-
This section contain links to all of the files, templates, and other resources you need to create family engagement governance structures at your school. The files are organized by the month you would need to use it, as outlined in the Calendar. If you prefer to see these resources organized by topic, check out the pages Collaborative School Committees, ELA-PAC Resources, and Title I Resources.
You are welcome to edit these resources so they more neatly match your school's needs, providing they hit the compliance requirements outlined on the CSC, ELA-PAC, and Title I pages. There are additional subpages for ELA-PAC Resources, and Title I Resources.
