Abstract	The purpose of the authors in this qualitative research is to explore cultural connections and disconnections between non-Hmong principals and Hmong parents. The results show that cultural disconnections occur because of the lack of culturally sensitive professional development for teachers and principals, and the lack of understanding of Hmong cultural values and beliefs, especially when it comes to parental involvement. (Contains 1 figure and 3 tables.) (As Provided).
