About FAP

Families as Partners (FAP) is an Austin Independent School District (AISD) parent engagement program under the Social and Emotional Learning and Cultural Proficiency and Inclusiveness Department. 

Families as Partners (FAP) fosters and strengthens relationships with families by cultivating trust and building collaborative and equity-focused partnerships between schools and communities. We develop intentional interactions to increase active parent engagement to support and enhance their children’s learning.

This is accomplished with the close collaboration of each school principal and Parent Support Specialist and their commitment to an asset-based approach to parent engagement.
