Summary: The draft of the Mt. Diablo Unified School District homework policy is presented to the Board of Education by the Homework Policy work group. This group of teachers, parents/guardians, Board members and administrators met over a 4 month period to research, discuss, review, edit and finalize these documents. The policy and administrative rule will provide our school sites and parents/guardians with a context and guidelines for the development of a homework plan. Site discussions will be guided by research into best practices pertaining to the nature and purpose of homework and the amount of time that best supports the identified grade levels. Additionally, the administrative rule outlines the responsibilities of administrators, teachers, parents and students pertaining to homework.
