Family – School Partnership Act

The Family-School Partnership Act is a California law that allows parents, grandparents, and guardians to take time off from work to participate in their children’s school or child care activities. The law (Labor Code Section 230.8) first took effect in 1995. Its provisions were expanded in 1997 to add licensed child day care facilities to the kindergarten-through-grade-twelve levels included in the original legislation.
