Abstract	The 2016-17 school year marked the third full school year of operation of the Parent Leadership Institute (PLI) of Children's Aid (CA). The PLI is funded via a 2013 Investing in Innovation (i3) development grant. Key goals of the PLI include: (1) improving the capacity of parents to effectively engage in the school community in support of their child and (2) increasing the capacity of school staff to create and support environments which are welcoming to and supportive of the active engagement of parents as key members of the school community. Through implementation of the PLI, CA expanded its partnership with six schools located in the South Bronx community of Morrisania, an area characterized by high levels of poverty, health disparities, and crime, and low levels of academic achievement and attainment among both children and adults. In late spring 2016-17 members of the evaluation team conducted individual interviews or focus groups with more than 30 stakeholders representing each of the participating partner schools, the New York Department of Education, a partner organization, and Children's Aid staff. Analyses of these interviews serve as the primary basis for this report. To supplement these analyses, the evaluation team also analyzed CA administrative data on the types of services and supports provided to parents. These data provide additional context to the evaluation and provide information on "fidelity of implementation" as required by i3.
