Schools must sponsor an annual meeting for all Title I parents and involve parents in an “organized, ongoing, and timely way” in the planning, review, and improvement of Title I schools.
Each Title I school utilizes a percentage of its Title I allocation to support a comprehensive parental involvement program. The School Advisory Council provides input in determining how Title I funds are used.
