Orig. Code(s): IGBC

The board recognizes that parental and family involvement is vital to achieve maximum educational growth for students participating in the district’s Title IA program.  Therefore, in compliance with federal law and the Oregon Department of Education guidelines, the district shall meet with parents and family to provide information regarding their school’s participation in the Title IA program and its requirements.

The superintendent shall ensure equivalence among schools in teachers, administration and other staff and in the provision of curriculum materials and instructional supplies.

The board directs the superintendent to ensure that each of the district’s schools participating in the Title IA program meets annually.  Parents and family of participating students shall be informed of their right to be involved in the development of the district’s parental and family engagement policy, overall district Title IA plan and the school-parent compacts.

In cooperation with parents and family, the district’s policy, plan and compact shall be reviewed annually and updated periodically to meet the changing needs of parents and the schools and distributed to parents of participating students in an understandable and uniform format and, to the extent practicable, in a language the parents can understand.

The superintendent shall develop administrative regulations, as necessary, to implement this policy and meet the requirements of law.
