Title I recognizes the vital role that parents, guardians
and community members play in the education of their
children. Decades of research have confirmed that students
with involved parents are more likely to succeed in school.
In accordance with the No Child Left Behind (NCLB)
legislation, the Title I office has developed a
comprehensive parent/community involvement program, in
collaboration with the Title I Parent Advisory Council (PAC)
Executive Board and the AACPS Office of School & Family
Partnerships.
Title I schools are required to develop, with
parents, both a parent involvement statement and a
home-school compact. In addition, each school develops a
parent involvement program consisting of at least four
parent/family outreach activities
Additional information about
parent involvement in education can be accessed through the
U.S. Department of Education at
the
principal of their school for the School Improvement Plan (SIP) in
order to review and suggest recommendations to improve academics,
parent participation, community involvement, attendance, and school
safety within their child’s school.
