ATLANTA (AP) — New legislation would mandate parent-teacher conferences when a student receives a failing grade on two consecutive report cards.

The bill was introduced by state Rep. Dee Dawkins-Haigler, a Lithonia Democrat.

Dawkins-Haigler says parental involvement is critical to improving student performance.

Her bill would apply to elementary and secondary students. A parent who fails to attend a conference could be ordered by a juvenile court to attend. Those who still fail to show up could be slapped with a $500 fine.
