1. What is the role of parents in Vision 2015?
2. Does Vision 2015 encourage different types of school design? What about charter and magnet schools?

1. What is the role of parents in Vision 2015?
   Involved parents are essential for student success. Vision 2015 recommends: (a) offering leadership and advocacy training to families and instituting school-based family liaisons to strengthen school-family ties, and (b) strengthening online tools and outreach programs to inform parents about their children's progress and the school's academic standards as well to help families reinforce classroom learning at home.


2. Does Vision 2015 encourage different types of school design? What about charter and magnet schools?
   We want to encourage innovation throughout the public school system. We know that students learn in different ways and have different interests. Some may thrive in a traditional classroom, others may need more hands-on learning, others may want to specialize in a certain subject like the arts or science or foreign languages. Public schools should offer choices like these – whether in a traditional public school, a public charter school or a public magnet school.
