Pull in more parents to school

Wisconsin State Journal Editorial:

A reading day with student performances and food.

A clothing swap for families that doubles as a PTO meeting.

Free transportation, child care and translators so more parents can participate in after-school functions.

Madison schools are doing a lot to draw more parents - especially minority and low-income parents - into their children's educations. And much of the credit goes to creative parent leaders and teachers.

The stepped-up effort is encouraging and should continue in Madison and across Wisconsin.

The more parents of all backgrounds spend time at their children's schools, the more likely their children will engage and succeed.
