Solid Foundation is a nationally recognized web-based model which provides a school team with the tools and resources to implement and monitor a two-year plan for parent engagement at the school level. Developed by the Academic Development Institute (ADI), Solid Foundation’s online system provides agendas, resources, planning tools and systematic implementation for improved parent involvement and a strong school community. The school community, comprised of school staff, families, and community volunteers, work together to build students’ solid foundation of skills, habits and qualities of character that will serve them for a lifetime: Readying, Studying, Respect, Responsibility.

The School Community Index is a 90 page report compiled from parent and teacher surveys,
school information and analysis of key documents. The Index provides the data for assessing,
making decisions, setting goals and verifying progress.

PIRC works with Solid Foundation schools as the “External Partner” by providing technical
assistance such as training, web monitoring as well as additional support and resource materials.
