TITLE 1
• The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB Act) reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), and is based on four principles that provide a framework through which families, educators, and communities can work together to improve teaching and learning.
1. Accountability for results- shared accountability between schools and parents for high achievement
2. Local control and flexibility- local development of parental involvement plans with sufficient flexibility to address local needs
3. Expanded parental choice- school choice & supplemental educational services (tutoring) for eligible children in low-performing schools
4. Effective and successful programs that reflect scientifically based research- building teachers & parents’ capacity for using effective practices to improve children’s academic achievement

TITLE 1, PART A PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT
• The new Title I, Part A is designed not only to help close the achievement gap between disadvantaged and minority students and their peers, but also to change the culture of America’s schools so that success is defined in terms of student achievement and schools invest in every child.
• As indicated by the parental involvement provisions in Title I, Part A, the involvement of parents in their children’s education and schools is critical to that process.
• Three decades of research provide convincing evidence that parents are an important influence in helping their children achieve high academic standards. When schools collaborate with parents to help their children learn and when parents participate in school activities and decision-making about their children’s education, children achieve at higher levels.
Schools can’t improve without the help of parents

TITLE 1 PARENT INVOLVEMENT POLICY
•It is the policy of the School District of the City of Allentown to encourage and assist school staff in building capacity for parent involvement at the school level in order for parents to help their children achieve high standards. In keeping with this policy, we believe that effective parent involvement in the Title I Program can best be accomplished at the building level by involving parents in an organized, ongoing and timely way in the planning, review, and improvement of Title I program.
![Page 32: TUESDAY, JANUARY 8 TH, 2013 DEPARTMENT OF GRANTS AND DEVELOPMENT ASD PARENT ADVISORY COUNCIL MEETING](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052618/551b8439550346942b8b49a5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
TITLE 1 PARENT INVOLVEMENT POLICY
•Schools will provide opportunities for parent involvement, so that a flexible number of opportunities will be given to parents to understand and become involved in the school program. An Annual Title I Parent Meeting for the parents of all students in the program will be held at each school. This meeting will be designed to help parents learn about the requirements of Title I, Part A and the school Title I program. Other parent involvement activities offered at the school level will be designed to assist parents in understanding such topics as the state’s academic standards, the assessments being used, and how to monitor their children’s progress and work with educators to improve their achievement.

KEYSTONE EXAMS WILL BE USED FOR TWO PURPOSES:

All 11th grade students take all three Keystone Exams.
All other students completing a Keystone- related course will take the appropriate Keystone Exam at the end of this year.
11th grade Keystone results will be used to calculate AYP for the school and district this year
All other Keystone Exam results will be banked for graduation and AYP until the students are in 11th grade
THIS YEAR…
![Page 41: TUESDAY, JANUARY 8 TH, 2013 DEPARTMENT OF GRANTS AND DEVELOPMENT ASD PARENT ADVISORY COUNCIL MEETING](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052618/551b8439550346942b8b49a5/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

TITLE 1 PARENT INVOLVEMENT POLICY
•The School District of the City of Allentown is committed to increasing parent involvement opportunities throughout the district. We believe that it is critical for all parents to make positive connections with their child's school and teachers so that they can become actively involved with their child's schooling. The parent involvement opportunities provided by each school through the Title I Program give all parents access to the staff of each school and enable them to support the learning experiences of their children. Parent involvement is critical to the success of the students.
