Presenter details parents' rights, the annual Title I meeting and the parent compact
Summary
The session highlighted parents' rights under Title I — including annual meetings and the "right to know" teacher qualifications — and described the parent compact as a living agreement between school, families and students.
Questioner asked about parents' rights and the Presenter replied that families have specific entitlements under Title I, including the right to ask whether their child's teacher has the required certifications and the right to participate in the annual Title I meeting. The Presenter said parents also should be included through workshops, translation and accessible materials so all families can participate.
The Presenter described the parent compact as "a living document" outlining shared responsibilities between school, family and student and stressed it should be part of regular conversation rather than a one-time form. No new district policies were adopted at the session; the discussion was instructional and aimed at helping families engage.
