PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT

The Edgecombe County Board of Education believes that the education of children should be a
cooperative effort between parents and schools. The Title I program offers assistance to meet
special educational needs of educationally and economically disadvantaged children according to
federal guidelines. The Board believes that the involvement of Title I parents contributes
significantly to the success of the children and increases the effectiveness of the program. To
that end, the Board directs the Superintendent, his/her designees and each Title I school to plan
and conduct activities designed to encourage parent participation.
Annually, parents/guardians of Title I children will be invited to a school meeting for the express
purpose of informing them of the program and activities that occur in the school that are
provided by Title I. Parent/guardian input shall be solicited in the planning, development, and
operation of the school Title I program. Each school will provide opportunities for regular
parent meetings and parent involvement activities.
The Edgecombe County Public School System will comply with all State and Federal
requirements in developing, implementing, administering, and evaluating Federal Compensatory
Education Programs.
