Title I, Part A Parent Involvement, 2014-2015. Research Educational Program Report
Houston Independent School District
The Title I, Part A program is designed to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and achieve, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and assessments. The program's goal is accomplished by providing supplemental funding for educational programs to Title I, Part A schools, which have a high percentage of students living in poverty. Title I, Part A also includes provisions to engage parents in the education process, which helps schools and parents share accountability for high student achievement. This Title I, Part A Parent Involvement Report for 2014-2015 describes the level of parental involvement in Title I schools, as reported by schools through Chancery, and by families through the Your Voice Survey. Demographic data are also included. The data are aggregated by school, school office, and district. Key findings include: (1) Overall, 197,895 students were enrolled in 2014-2015 Houston Independent School District (HISD) Title I schools. Excluding individual/school compact, the district had a 48.9 percent parent involvement participation rate recorded in Chancery. Hispanic students (127,923) represented the largest Title I student group, districtwide. Asian students had the highest parent involvement participation rates (53.2 percent), while students identifying as Pacific Islander had the lowest parent involvement participation rate (31.6 percent); (2) The 2014-2015 Your Voice Survey was completed by 24,070 parents of Title I students, reflecting 12.2 percent of all Title I students enrolled; and (3) The question related to parent involvement from the Your Voice Survey with the highest agreement rate was "My child's school gives opportunities for and encourages me to participate in parent/teacher conferences, school activities, and meetings" with 90.3 percent. The question with the lowest agreement rate was "My child's school gives me the training and materials to help me to help my child" with 76.1 percent.
