No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Policy Statement

The new "No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB)" of 2001 was signed into law by President George W. Bush on January 8, 2002. The NCLB Title I Law became effective July 1, 2002 and mandates meaningful consultation between parents and school districts. Each local education agency (LEA) and each school that receives Title I funds shall jointly develop, and distribute to parents, a written parental involvement policy. The policy must outline how parents will be involved in the improvement of the Title I program through planning, reviewing the program and identifying any barriers to the Title I program.

Parent Advisory Councils (PACs)

CPS has formed NCLB Title I Parent Advisory Councils (PAC) at the local school level. The PACs exist to provide parents/legal guardians, loco parentis, teachers/staff, and concerned community individuals with the opportunity to work with their principal in the planning, design, implementation, and evaluation of the Title I Program.

The PACs serve as an advisory group by providing input on amendments and future Title I programs. PACs jointly develop and approve a parent involvement policy which includes the school-parent compact. PACs also provide and share NCLB Title I information updates received from the New Region PAC.
