Remember that you will need to upload evidence of parent involvement in development of the Parent-School Compact and evidence of parent involvement in development of the PIP, as well as upload an electronic version of the School-Parent Compact.

Be proactive. Conduct a PIP and School-Parent Compact Review Meeting for parents and staff, before the 2013-2014 school year ends, in order to compile evidences of parent input in the development of the PIP and the Parent-School Compact for the 2014-2015 school year. Schools should begin the review/evaluation process for the Title I program as a whole and the PIP, at this time. Schools should begin to gather all of their plans (e.g. PIP, School-Parent Compact, and the School Improvement Plan (SIP) and take them to their parent groups for input into the changes that need to be made for the next year.

Identify barriers which could have hindered participation by parents in parental involvement activities during the 2013-2014 school year, and the steps the school will take to overcome the identified barriers. Further, when reviewing the school’s 2013-2014 PIP, results from the school’s M-DCPS Title I Parent/Family Involvement Survey should be utilized with revisions.

Title I Parent Involvement Plan (PIP) Title I Parent Involvement Plan (PIP) Evaluation/Review RecommendationsEvaluation/Review Recommendations

It is recommended that the Title I Parent Involvement Plan (PIP) and School-Parent Compact Evaluations/Reviews are included in the next EESAC meeting. The discussions should also be included in the minutes of this meeting. The PIP guidance document (See FDOE’s online template.) outlines examples and non-examples of methods for documenting parental input.

Recommended Example Non-Example

The Principal distributed a draft of the PIP and the amount of Title I funds set aside for parental involvement to the parents. The Principal led a discussion on each of the components included in the PIP and appropriate and legal uses of Title I funds. Through careful deliberation and discussion, revisions were made to the “Building Capacity” sections based on the discussions. Those present made no suggestions for revisions to the other sections.

The PIP was reviewed and approved.

This entry only indicates that parents were provided an opportunity to review the plan. It does not indicate that the parents had an opportunity for meaningful input.

Recommended Example Non-Example

The Principal will make the updates to the online template as requested. Ms. Brown (parent) made a motion to approve the PIP with the indicated revisions. Mr. Gomez (parent) seconded. The motion carried unanimously.
