WHAT IS A TITLE I SCHOOL? A Title I School Has Two Designation Status:

School wide and Targeted Assisted Schools.

Schoolwide addresses the entire school population and Targeted Assisted addresses

a specific sub-group of students/population at a given school.

Both statuses require the following:

Required to provide supplemental educational resources such as additional

teachers in specific content areas as Writing, Science, Reading, and/or

Mathematics

Required to provide supplemental academic assistance for students such as

Flexible Learning Programs

Required to include parents in creating policies such as the School Improvement

Plan, the Parental Involvement Policy and our School-Parent Compacts

Required to provide parental engagement activities that educate parents on our

curriculum, the GA standards in education, strategies for improving test scores

and increases in overall achievement on standardized assessments

At the local level, Title I supports our

economically, disadvantaged

students to help ensure that they

all meet challenging state

academic content and student

academic achievement standards. Title I also

serves to reinforce and amplify efforts to

improve teaching and learning for our

students furthest from meeting state

standards.

Title I is a federally funded

program under the Elementary and

Secondary Education Act of 1965

(ESEA) that provides funds through

the United States Department of

Education to the Georgia

Department of Education.


WHAT IS REQUIRED BY LAW FOR

PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT?

Title I, Part A, Section 1118 (e) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965

requires that the six “shalls” stated in the law under Building Capacity for

Involvement are met as well as documented. The law also provides eight additional

“mays” (that are not required, but are allowable) to ensue meaningful capacity

building in parents. The six “shalls” stated in the law are:

SHALL provide assistance

SHALL provide materials and training

SHALL educate teachers…parents, in the value and utility of contributions of parents

SHALL, to the extent feasible and appropriate, coordinate and integrate parent

involvement programs and activities

SHALL ensure that information related to school and parent programs, meetings, and

other activities is sent

SHALL provide such other reasonable support for parental involvement activities under

this section as parents may request.

PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AND TITLE I

Parental involvement is an integral part of Title I funding at our school. Research has shown that when parents are ACTIVELY

involved in their child’s education, then academic and behavioral success is evident in greater numbers than without.

“Parents with high involvement ratings, compared with those with low or median ratings, tended to have children with higher grades and scores. This finding held across all family income levels and

backgrounds,”

(Henderson & Mapp, 2002, pg. 31)


WHAT IS THE PARENT INVOLVEMENT PLAN?

Effective parent engagement is not a one-time program, but rather

an ongoing process that guides the practices, attitudes, beliefs

and interactions that support learning at home, at school,

after-school, or during the summer.


"There are many reasons for developing school, family,

and community partnerships," she writes.

"The main reason to create such partnerships is to help all youngsters

succeed in school and in later life."

Our parental involvement policy is

developed with our parents,

administrators and other stake-

holders to guide students with

effective best practices,

programming ideas and

strategies to increase overall

student achievement in every

subject area.

WHAT IS A SCHOOL-PARENT COMPACT?

At our school, students participating in the Title I, Part A Program,

and their families agree that a School-Parent Compact outlines how the

parents, the school staff, and the students will share the responsibility

for improved student academic achievement. Additionally, the compact

describes how our school and parents will build and develop a

partnership that will help students achieve the state’s high standards.

The compact was jointly developed by our school’s parents, the

Title I Parent Liaison, educators, community partners and other

stakeholders in the best interest of student academic achievement for a

given school year. Revisions are done collectively by all stakeholders

annually to best suit the academic needs of the students at our school.
