Committee reviews Title I parent/family engagement policy; district notes roughly $130,000 in Title I funds
Summary
Policy 9.18 (Title I parent/family engagement) received an administrative review that removed non-required language and reorganized wording; Speaker 4 said the district receives about $130,000 in federal Title I funding to support targeted services.
The Policy Committee reviewed Policy 9.18, the district’s Title I parent/family engagement policy. Speaker 3 said the policy had a thorough review by Dr. Pratt that produced mostly suggested, non-substantive clarifications and removal of language not legally required by Title I rules. Speaker 3 noted that Title I policy must be reviewed annually by law, but internal reviews can satisfy that requirement without a full committee presentation every year.
Speaker 4 clarified how Title I designation works and said the district receives about $130,000 in federal Title I funding, "so that basically is 1 teacher's salary, with benefits," and that Title I supports targeted services in qualifying schools rather than services for every student in a Title I school.
Committee members asked for wording clarifications in the draft and Speaker 3 confirmed those edits would be made; the committee did not take a formal final vote on the policy during the meeting.
