Parent Informational Meetings

The focus of Title 1 is on improving the academic achievement of children attending schools with high levels of students who receive free or reduced lunch.

The school’s Title 1 funds are additional federal funds which coordinated with other funds to provide support to the entire educational program of the school in order to improve the overall academic achievement of ALL children in the school. All students are Title 1 participants and all parents are considered Title 1 Parents. Schoolwide programs must make provisions to meet the needs of students who are at-risk of failing to achieve state standards.

Who/What is Funded Using Title 1 Monies?

Each school must allocate Title 1 funds as follows:

Instructional materials

13

Title 1 Allocation Categories

The Title I parent involvement program should be designed to meet the needs of Title I parents and linked to the school’s student achievement goals and the activities articulated in the school’s parent involvement policy and school-parent compact.

Title I funds may be used to provide workshops and other activities for parents that promote literacy, the use of technology and provide access to other resources that parents can use to actively support their child’s education.

Title I parents must be consulted regarding the use of these funds and must be engaged in the discussion regarding how the Title I program will benefit all parents.

14

Title I Parent Involvement Program

Describes how the school, students, and parents work together for success

Developed and implemented jointly with parentsLists activities and strategies designed to build the

school’s and parents’ capacity for the meaningful involvement of Title I families in support of student achievement

Includes protocols for how the school will communicate with parents about the Title I program and student progress (e.g., Annual Parent meeting, subsequent parent meetings and conferences)

Must focus on engaging parents in the improvement of student academic achievement.
