District staff presented a proposed Latino Family Literacy program designed as an 8–10 week series that invites cohorts of about 20 families and equips parents with strategies to read with their children and build vocabulary. The pilot is targeted to schools with substantial multilingual-learner populations; staff said each participating site would receive multiple 'kits' so cohorts could run concurrently.
A presenter described the structure: parents borrow a book for a week, apply strategies at home, return and report back, and then borrow a second book. Trustees responded with support, calling the approach "heartwarming and effective" and asked that the program come back for formal adoption at the Sept. 24 board meeting.
The board did not vote on the program at this meeting; staff said it will return to the agenda for approval.
