Recruiting teachers is a small first step in the right direction, in my experience he almost got it right when he "urged parents to stay involved in their children's education." It would have been closer to the mark had he said "get" instead of "stay".

I think there should be mandatory classes/participation events for parents as well as students - the only problem is that there will always be those parents who couldn't care less and wouldn't go anyway.

At the end of the last school year my sons teacher recommended that a friend of his be held back and take second grade again because of lack of progress. The kids mom said she didn't agree and refused to even consider it. This is the same child that has all sorts of behavioral issues as well since no one spends any time with him at home and he has no direction, other than "I'm busy go play or something", which generally involves a video game or watching TV.
