About
Parent outreach is a critical component of Title I. Title I schools are mandated through Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) to implement school level family engagement programs through meaningful consultation with parents of participating children and to provide opportunities to increase their knowledge and skills related to their children’s education.
Schools receive Title I funds to provide a comprehensive family engagement program that includes workshops focusing on strategies to help children improve their academic performance. For information about your school’s family engagement activities please contact Central Programs Specialists Theresa Brady ([email protected]) and Melissa Forster ([email protected]) in the Office of Title I at 443-809-3487.
