parentlink Nevada Public Radio's "State of Nevada" program talks with Philip Brody, Chief Information Officer of the Clark County (NV) School District (CCSD) and Suzanne Bouffard, Project Manager at Harvard Family Research Project, about CCSD's new Parent Link family involvement program. Launched at the start of the 2008–2009 academic year, Parent Link connects schools and familes through telephone and online communication.
On the program, Suzanne Bouffard discusses her research into the use of the Internet for home–school communication. She explains that, while the Internet can help to increase parent involvement, schools must also be aware of the potential for a "digital divide" separating families with and without access to technology.
