Parent Support Specialists

Parent Support Specialists

Austin ISD has over 70 Parent Support Specialists (PSS) across the district, primarily in Title I schools. PSSs engage directly with families, campus staff and community members in order to ensure effective school-community partnerships and allocation of community resources by utilizing strategies that encourage authentic family engagement.

PSSs serve our district families by facilitating educational workshops that educate and empower families to support their children in achieving their educational goals. Some of the educational workshops include topics such as Parent Leadership, ESL, GED, Health & Wellness, Student Academics and many more.
