Title I
Title I Parent and Family Engagement Policy
Revised February 2021
The board of education recognizes the value of family engagement in a child’s academic success
and believes that the education of children is an ongoing cooperative partnership between the
home and the school. Parents and other family members are their children’s first teachers;
therefore, the continued involvement of parents and family members in the educational process is
most important in fostering and improving educational achievement. School system officials
shall strive to support parents and provide parents and family members with meaningful
opportunities to become involved in the programs offered by the Title I schools. The board
encourages parents and family members to participate in the design and implementation of the
programs and activities in order to increase the effectiveness of the school system’s Title I
program in helping students meet state and local achievement standards.
