In addition, each school must make its written parental involvement policy available to the local community. 

Title I School Compacts

A School-Parent Compact for Achievement is an agreement that parents, students, and educators develop together.

Title Funding Supports

Education of Migratory Children

The Migrant Education Program (MEP) supports students to reach high standards of academic achievement and is the level of interstate cooperation through the transfer of migrant students' education and health records. This high priority activity helps assure that migrant students are placed appropriately when they enroll in a new school. Their teachers are able to meet their needs and valuable time is not wasted. In addition, secondary students benefit significantly since the transfer of credits and/or partial credits assists them in meeting graduation requirements. The dropout rate among migrant students is high because of the frustration and hopelessness these students encounter when schools are not able to meet their academic needs.

High Quality Teachers and Principals

Title II, Part A is intended to increase student academic achievement by improving teacher and principal quality. This includes increasing the number of Highly Qualified teachers in classrooms, improving the skills of principals and assistant principals in schools, and increasing the effectiveness of teachers and principals.

Allowable Title II activities include:

  • Recruiting, Hiring, and Retaining Highly Qualified Teachers and Principals
  • Programs and activities designed to improve the quality of the teaching force
  • Teacher advancement initiatives that emphasize multiple career paths and pay differentiation.
  • Professional development activities that improve the knowledge of teachers, principals and superintendents

Supports for English Learners

Title III is a supplemental grant under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) that is designed to improve and enhance the education of English learners (ELs) in becoming proficient in English, as well as meeting the Colorado Academic standards. The Title III Immigrant Set-Aside grant resides within this program and provides opportunities for districts to enhance the instructional opportunities for immigrant students and their families.
