The SLT in consultation with the Title I parent representative develops the Schoolwide plan and addresses all of the key components of the Title I plan.

All Title I schools are required to have a Title I Parent Committee who develops a Parent and Family Engagement Policy in collaboration with the SLT to meet the parental involvement requirements of Title I and Chancellor’s Regulation A-655. The Parent and Family Engagement Policy describes how your school will plan and implement parent and family engagement activities and/or strategies to improve student academic achievement and school performance. The School-Parent Compact (SPC) is a component of the Parent and Family Engagement Policy that outlines how parents, the entire school staff, and students will share this responsibility. The Parent and Family Engagement Policy should be translated and distributed to all Title I parents in the languages spoken at home.

What do you anticipate will be the impact of this activity on student learning and parent development? Is this activity open to all parents? Will it engage all Title I parents? How is it aligned to the CEP and PIP/SPC? Turn and Talk: Question: Can the Title I 1% set-aside be used to fund parent admission tickets and transportation to see the movie?
Use the comprehensive educational planning cycle to inform your responses. Scenario: Parent Involvement Activity A group of parents decided to take a trip to see a movie.
