Parents' Primary Role in the Education of Children

 

The Center for Creativity, Innovation, and Discovery (CCID) acknowledges that Utah’s Constitution and laws respect parents’ primary role in the education of their children. The school, along with Utah State Board of Education (USBE), deeply appreciates the trust that parents have placed in Utah’s public education system. CCID considers its partnership with parents as essential to the school's mission. 

As a parent in Utah, you have parent rights and data privacy rights related to your child's educational records and information. These rights are protected by federal and state laws, including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and Utah state regulations. 

Recent research has emphasized effective family engagement as a key component of school transformation and improvement efforts. Students with highly engaged families:

  • Attend school regularly
  • Have stronger social skills
  • Earn higher grades
  • Graduate from high school
  • Go on to college or other postsecondary program

A Parent Portal provided by the Utah State Board of Education outlines the basic structure of Utah’s public education system, some of the rights of parents in the direction of their children’s education, and opportunities to engage with and support schools at the state and local level. The portal is available in multiple languages, and USBE offers verbal translation services for further discussions with its staff.
