PARENT INVOLVEMENT It’s the LAW!! NCLB lincludes 176 paragraphs, 623 lines, 5,397 words on how schools must involve parents if they want Title 1 money!
'Most or all parents attend school open house events in 72 percent of schools that have a low concentration of poverty compared with only 28 percent of schools with a high poverty concentration' (National Center for Education Statistics,)
Schools hope for parent involvement, but parents, particularly in poorer school districts, do not always have the means or motivation to make it to meetings.
