Abstract	Minority parents are less likely to engage in their children's school though they are not less interested in their children's education or less involved in their children's lives at home. This gap in parent engagement affects the educational success of their children and has significant implications for minority communities and states with large minority populations like Texas. If minority parents are no less dedicated to their children, what policy levers exist for school leaders to facilitate parental engagement of minority families? This research study answers this question by evaluating an intervention that aimed to change the institutional arrangements of elementary schools that would have the effect of increasing parent engagement and ultimately student achievement. Existing research has examined how parent attributes explain parent engagement, but limited research exists regarding the institutional arrangements of schools that can facilitate or stymie parental engagement. This study examined how one intervention worked to alter the institutional arrangements of schools serving minority families to increase parent engagement and ultimately improve student outcomes.
