MEMORANDUM
TO:
District Superintendents
District Title I Directors/Coordinators
FROM:
Cheri Pierson Yecke, Ph.D
DATE:
April 16, 2007
SUBJECT: TEMPLATE FOR LOCAL EDUCATION AGENCY (LEA) TITLE I
PARENT INVOLVEMENT POLICY UNDER NO CHILD LEFT
BEHIND (NCLB) ACT OF 2001
NCLB Title I, Part A, requires that each local education agency (LEA) develop, jointly with
parents, an LEA Title I Parent Involvement Policy. To facilitate this process, the Florida
Department of Education (FDOE) has developed a sample template that can be used by districts
when developing their district-level Title I Parent Involvement Policy. Districts may opt to
utilize the sample template, attached to this memo, or they may develop their policy on their own
as long as it includes all the required components.
The following items are attached for use as needed:
•
Sample LEA Title I Parent Involvement Policy template
•
Sample School–Parent Compact Template
•
LEA generated strategies for actions and activities for components of Part III
•
Parent Information and Resource Center (PIRC) links (see page 5)
•
NCLB Evaluation Toolkit link (see page 17)
