Each Title I school in LAUSD is required to develop a written parent involvement policy. This policy describes how the school will support and increase parent involvement.  It must be developed with parents, include participation from all appropriate advisory committees, be reviewed and updated annually and be agreed upon by the School Site Council.  The written parent involvement policy must include how parents will be informed of the school’s Title I program requirements.

Buchanan has developed a written Title I parental involvement policy with input from parents. A Title 1 parent session took place for the review of the Parent Involvement Policy and subsequently input was given to guide the Policy.  Buchanan has distributed the policy to parents of Title I students. The Parent Involvement Policy sent home in Wednesday Folders as well as posted on our School Website.   The policy describes the means for carrying out the following Title I parental involvement requirements [20 USC 6318 Section 1118(c)-(f) inclusive].

TITLE 1 PARENT SCHOOL COMPACT

What is a School-Parent Compact?

A School-Parent Compact for Achievement is an agreement that parents, students and teachers develop together.

It explains how parents and teachers will work together to make sure all students reach or exceed grade-level standards.

Jointly Developed

Title I Parents, ELAC Parents, and School Site Council reviewed and revised our School-Parent Compact.   The views of Parents, Teachers, and Administrators were heard at a School Site Council Meeting and the final version of the School-Parent Compact was approved.
