On the recordJuly 18, 2013
I am supportive of this amendment, which merely adds a requirement for grantees under the Family Engagement Centers to conduct outreach to low-income families, as I understand the gentlelady's presentation. The intent of this program is to help parents better engage with their students to increase their academic achievement. I certainly support these centers reaching out to low-income families to help them. I appreciate my colleague's effort on this provision, and I urge support of the amendment, as well as the entire Student Success Act. I reserve the balance of my time.
