. We understand that Spark can only deliver on its educational promise to the extent that families agree to participate, and that Spark will work with ANY family that wishes to participate to ensure their ability to do so in a capacity that is manageable for them.
We further understand that b
y law, no public school
(district or charter) can require parent participation. Parent participation at Spark is not a requirement for application, and no child will be denied enrollment because parents have not participated.
