Public schools in Broward County are losing too many parents at the door.
Parents, one of the biggest keys to student success, say the unfriendly atmosphere at some schools makes them feel unwelcome and unwanted.
"There's no 'Hello,' no 'How are you,'" said Genny Lingard, a mother of two in Hallandale Beach.
Many parents echoed those sentiments at a series of recent public forums hosted by the Broward School District to learn what it's doing right — and wrong — when it comes to engaging parents. The final forum is scheduled for 7 p.m. Nov. 10 at Coconut Creek High School
