  8.

  10. Eliminating Barriers to Parental Involvement Parental Involvement PDCA2009 - 2011 The Concern: Some LEAs engage their parent-teacher associations in carrying out responsibilities for activities required by the Title I program.

  11. Parental Involvement PDCA2009 - 2011 Title I activities must not be advertised as PTA / PTO activities, as Title I activities must not cost parents money to participate. Meetings that involve Title I funds and information must be open and available to all Title I parents and no fee is to be charged. This guidance does not prevent Title I parents from being a part of PTA / PTO, as the law allows for appropriate roles for community-based organizations. Note: Title I meetings must stand alone.

  12. Parental Involvement 2009 - 2011 Examples of announcements and agendas identifying meetings with Title I parents. Title I meetings are conducted by school or LEA staff knowledgeable about Title I. Interviews with principals reflect a clear understanding of the difference between Title I parent meetings and PTA meetings. Interviews with parents reflect a clear understanding that they have opportunities to participate in Title I parent meetings, and there is no cost for the parent.
