The Parental Involvement and Accountability Act, which was proposed by Rep. Gregory Holloway, Sr., D-Hazlehurst, aims to improve parental involvement in schools, Holloway said.

Teachers would rate parents as “unsatisfactory,” “needs improvement” or “satisfactory” on their involvement in their children’s education.
