Parental Involvement Policy

A district receiving Title I funds and each school served under Title I must jointly develop with and distribute to parents of children participating in Title I programs a written parental involvement policy. If a school or district has a parental involvement policy that applies to all parents, it may amend the policy to meet the requirements under the NCLB. Schools must hold at least one annual meeting for Title I parents; offer a flexible number of meetings; involve parents in an ongoing manner in the planning, review and improvement of Title I programs; provide Title I parents with information about the programs, a description and explanation of the curriculum, forms of academic assessment and if requested opportunities for regular meetings to discuss the education of their children; and develop a school-parent compact that outlines the responsibilities of each party for improved student academic achievement. 20 U.S.C. 6318(b),(c).
