Any District with a Title I Allocation exceeding $500,000 is required by law to set aside 1% of it’s Title I allocation for parental involvement.
Of that 1%, 5% may be reserved at the District for system-wide initiatives related to parental involvement. The remaining 95% must be allocated to all Title I schools in the District. Therefore each Title I school receives its portion of the 95% to implement school-level parental involvement.
You, as Title I parents, have the right to be involved in how this money is spent.
