The External Funding Titles I, II & IV Department provides guidance, training, and support to central-office and school-based personnel in the implementation of activities under the federal Title I, Part A grant (Improving Basic Programs for Economically Disadvantaged Students), the Title II, Part A grant (Teacher and Principal Training and Recruiting) and the Title IV, Part A grant (Student Support and Academic Enrichment).  All department efforts ensure that support is provided for schools and students with the greatest need and that the school district remains in compliance with fiscal and programmatic regulations.

One aspect of the Title I Schools Parent and Family Engagement Policy is the School-Parent Compact. The Compact is developed jointly with parents and does the following:

• Outlines how families, school, staff, and students will share the responsibility for improved student academic achievement and develop a partnership to help students achieve state standards
• Describes the school’s responsibility to provide high-quality curriculum and instruction in a supportive and effective learning environment that enables students to meet academic achievement standards
• Describes the parent’s responsibility for supporting learning (including volunteering in their child’s classroom) and participating in decisions relating to the education of their children; and
• Addresses the importance of communication between families and staff.
