The receipt of these signatures means that charter schools legislation – which was slated to go into effect on June 10, 2004 – is suspended at least until the Secretary of State’s office verifies the number of signatures of registered voters on the Referendum 55 petitions. If enough voters’ signatures have been gathered to qualify Referendum 55 for the November ballot, the charter schools law will remain suspended until the results of the general election are certified on December 2. If the referendum fails to qualify for the November ballot, the charter school law will take effect, and charter school proponents may file applications with potential school district sponsors.

Other Resources What is parental involvement, exactly? Parental involvement in your child's education can mean: Reading to your child Checking homework every night Discussing your children's progress with teachers Voting in school board elections Helping your school to set challenging academic standards Limiting TV viewing on school nights Becoming an advocate for better education in your community and state. Or, it can be as simple as asking your children, "How was school today?" But ask every day. That will send your children the clear message that their schoolwork is important to you and you expect them to learn. Why is parental involvement important? Here are just some of the reasons it is important for parents to be actively involved in their child's education: The family makes critical contributions to student achievement from pre-school through high school. A home environment that encourages learning is more important to student achievement than income, education level or cultural background. (Henderson and Berla)
