Title I, Transformation, Turnaround & Restart All Schools  Project Appleseed Part Of Your School Improvement Plan 1. Every Title I school must have a written parent involvement policy,
developed with and
approved by parents. This policy should spell out how parents will be
involved in a meaningful way and how they will be involved in the
school. The policy must be updated periodically to reflect the changing
concerns of parents.
“No
Child
Left
Behind:
What’s
in
it
for
Parents”
by
Anne
Henderson,
20022. Every Title I school must have a school-parent compact, developed and approved by parents, that describes how the school and parents will build a partnership to improve student achievement. This compact should explain how the school will meet the needs of its students so that they will achieve high standards. 3. Every school district must have a written Title I parent involvement policy that is developed with and approved by parents, and evaluated every year. This policy must spell out how the district will engage parents in developing its Title 1 plan and how it will help parents gain the knowledge and skills to be involved effectively in decisions about the program and in the schools. 4. The school district must distribute a report card specifying how every school and the district as a whole is performing. This applies to Title I and non-Title I schools, as well as to charter schools. 5. If a Title I school has not made adequate progress over the past two or more years, parents have two options. They can ask to transfer their children to a school that is making adequate progress, or they can request supplemental services and become involved in improving the school. 6. The state education agency must monitor the school districts’ Title I programs to make sure they carry out the law. If the district is not involving parents, parents and community members should appeal to the state. |
