Title I, Part A Parent Involvement, 2015-2016. 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 2015-2016 describes the parental engagement levels for students enrolled in Title I schools within Houston Independent School District, as recorded in the student information system, Chancery. The data are aggregated by the district, school office, and the school level. Key findings include: (1) Overall, 214,422 students were enrolled at HISD Title I schools in 2015-2016. Excluding individual/school compact, the district had a 45.2 percent parent involvement participation rate recorded in Chancery.
