Code No. 504.11
TITLE I PARENT AND FAMILY ENGAGEMENT
Parent and family engagement is an important component in a student’s success in school. The board
encourages parents and families to become involved in their child’s education to ensure the child’s
academic success. The board will:
(1) Involve parents and families in the development of the Title I plan, the process for school
review of the plan and the process for improvement;
(2) Provide the coordination, technical assistance and other support necessary to assist and
build the capacity of all participating schools in planning and implementing effective parent
and family involvement activities to improve student academic achievement and school
performance;
(3) To the extent feasible, coordinate and integrate parent and family engagement strategies
under Title I with parent and family engagement strategies outlined in other relevant
Federal, State, and local laws and programs;
(4) Conduct with the involvement of parents and family members, an annual evaluation of the
content and effectiveness of the parent and family engagement policy in improving the
academic quality of the school served including identifying barriers to greater participation
by parents in Title I activities (with particular attention to low-income parents, Limited
English Proficient (LEP) parents, parents of any racial or ethnic minority, parents with
disabilities and parents with limited literacy);
(5) Use the findings of the annual evaluation to design strategies for more effective parent and
family involvement and to revise, as necessary, the parent and family involvement policies;
and;
(6) Involve parents and families in Title I activities.
The board will review this policy annually. The superintendent is responsible for notifying parents and
families of this policy annually or within a reasonable time after it has been amended during the school
year. The superintendent may develop an administrative process or procedures to implement this policy.
