Parent Involvement / Shared Responsibilities

Parent Involvement is an important aspect of Title I. As a parent you can influence your child’s success in school. We encourage you to be actively involved in your child’s education. The Parent Involvement Policy for Lee County Schools was jointly developed with parental participation to meet the No Child Left Behind Act and to meet the combined needs of parents, students and schools. Each Title I school has a unique paren-tal policy that is supplemental to the district policy. Each Title I school will develop a School Parent Compact. You can help by making sure your child attend school every day, making sure homework is complete and attending parent teacher conferences.

Title I is the largest federal aid program for elementary, middle, and high schools. Through Title I, money is given to school districts around the country based on the number of low-income families in each district. Each district uses its Title I money for extra educational services for children most in need of educational help. The focus of the Title I program is on helping all students meet the same high standards expected of all children. Who is eligible to participate in the Title I program?
