The document discusses a program in the Colleton County School District that uses Web 2.0 tools to increase parental involvement. The program's goals are to increase the quality, quantity, and attendance of information and sessions for parents by 15% in order to improve student achievement. The program utilizes various online platforms and tools like websites, text messaging, social media, and videos to provide content to parents and engage them both in the office and at home. Surveys were used to revise session content, times and locations. Initial results showed increased content, attendance, excitement and opportunities for parent involvement through the use of technology.
