Title I Parent Involvement vision/mission is to empower families to support their child’s cognitive development, healthy behaviors and success in life.  We will accomplish our mission by increasing and strengthening school partnerships, Title I Family Involvement Centers, parents and community agencies working cooperatively to ensure that students become productive and responsible citizens. 

The Title I program for parents is designed to:

• Inform parents about Title I regulations
• Involve parents in local Title I decisions
• Provide literacy training
• Offer parental training in schools and the community on ways to raise student achievement via at home activities
• Encourage active participation in their child(ren)’s schools and education
