- Title I Parent Advisory
Council – Meetings are held during the year to
give feedback on our Title I programs. All Title I
administrators are invited to attend and are
available to answer parents’ questions regarding
Title I concerns. Each Title I school is strongly
encouraged to send one parent representative to the
meetings. Parent information is given to attendees
to take back to their schools for distribution to
faculty, staff, and parents. Guest speakers discuss
helpful topics on Title I issues, legislative
policies, and other pertinent parent information.
