Title I

What Is Title I?  
 

Title I is a federally funded program designed to provide a high-quality education that will enable all children to meet the state's student performance standard. Title I is a part of the “No Child Left Behind Act” passed by Congress in 2002. Title I programs can provide supplemental instruction in reading, math, science, and social studies. These programs use effective methods and instructional strategies grounded in scientifically based research.

 

A school is selected as a Title I school based on the number of students within its boundaries eligible for free or reduced-priced meals. Students are selected to participate based on academic need.

Title I Family Engagement Policy & Statement of Purpose 
 

Montgomery ISD provides a quality education for every student in our District. To accomplish this objective, the district will develop and maintain partnerships with parents / caregivers, patrons, and community members. A positive link between home and school will create the best learning conditions for every child. These open communication lines will expand and enhance learning opportunities for everyone involved.

 

All students are expected to work toward mastering the Texas Essentials Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for their grade level. Montgomery ISD recognizes the fact that some students need extra assistance to achieve their full potential. The extra assistance is available through the Title I program and various other educational services offered through the district.  

Montgomery ISD includes parents in all aspects of the Title I program. Students will be given every opportunity for success through the development and enhancement of the home/school partnership. Title I programs are being offered at Creekside Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, Stewart Creek Elementary, and Montgomery Elementary. 
Parent Involvement in Policy Development   

Parents, members of the community, and school staff meet to discuss the design and implementation of the Title I Parent Involvement Policy. The Montgomery ISD District Advisory Committee reviews and updates the design and implementation of the Montgomery ISD Parent Involvement Policy annually. Surveys will be sent home to all Title I parents. Participation includes a diverse parent population. 
Annual Meeting for Title I Parents / Caregivers   
Montgomery ISD will hold at least one meeting annually to review Title I Policy and services offered throughout the district. Copies of the District's current Parent Involvement Policy will be distributed at the meeting. Parents are encouraged to become involved in the revising and updating the Policy as necessary and parent volunteers will be recruited for the various District committee appointments. Newsletters, teacher notes, the school marquee, conferences, personal contacts, phone calls and written notices will be used to establish and maintain open lines of communication with parents / caregivers. 
Parent, Student and School Compacts   
 

In accordance with Title I regulations, the Parent, Student and School Compacts will be updated annually. This compact will provide an outline to enable the school and parents / caregivers to share responsibility for student performance and success. This compact explains how students, parents / caregivers, and staff will share responsibility for promoting student achievement.

 

The compacts are designed so that both the student and his/her parents sign this compact. Students and parents are encouraged to discuss the contents of the compact; they are also encouraged to sign that they are in agreement with the compact and return them to the school.

Parent Notification of Teacher Qualifications   
 

Parents of students attending one of the Title I schools have the right to know the professional qualifications of the classroom teachers who instruct your child. MISD and The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act recognizes that all children can achieve the same high standards and must be provided with the education they need to reach those standards. NCLB gives parents new opportunities to make sure their child receives the absolute best education possible.  

The No Child Left Behind Act also requires the school district to provide you with the following information in a timely manner if you request it. You have the right to request the following information about each of your child's classroom teachers:  
 
    • Whether the teacher meets the state qualifications and licensing criteria for the grades and subject he/she teaches.  
    • Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or provisional status because of special circumstances.  
    • The teacher's college major, whether the teacher has any advanced degrees, and the field of discipline certification or degree.  
    • Whether paraprofessionals provide services to your child and, if so, their qualifications.  
    • If you would like to receive any of this information, please contact Tiffany San Miguel at 936-276-2107.
