Summary of the Los Angeles Unified School District Title I Parent and Family Engagement Policy
A. LAUSD will involve parents in the joint development of the LAUSD Local
Educational Agency (LEA) Plan by inviting parents of Title I students to participate in
Region Title I Parent Study Groups, in the District’s Title I Focus Group, and in
school level activities related to the LAUSD LEA Plan, including program and budget
development for categorical programs. The District will also invite parents to
participate in special training to support their understanding of the LAUSD LEA Plan
and the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA).

B. LAUSD, through the Office of Student, Family and Community Engagement
(SFACE) and the Region Family and Community Engagement (FACE) staff, will
provide the coordination, technical assistance, and other support necessary to assist
and build the capacity of Title I schools in planning and implementing effective parent
involvement activities to improve student academic achievement and school
performance. Staff from SFACE and FACE will develop tools and curriculum and will
provide training to school staff in the following areas:

• School Goals for Parent Engagement
• Parent Education Modules
• Parent and Family Center Improvement Program
• School Volunteer Program
• Building Relationships with Community Groups
• Staff Capacity-building Modules

C. LAUSD will coordinate and integrate parent and family engagement strategies
described in this policy with strategies used in programs operated by other LAUSD
departments, some of which are listed below:

• Multilingual and Multicultural Education
• Division of Special Education
• Early Childhood Education
• Division of Instruction
• Student Health and Human Services
• Access, Equity and Acceleration
• Beyond the Bell
• Student Integration Services

D. Through Region Title I Study Groups, LAUSD will conduct an annual evaluation of
the content and effectiveness of the parent and family engagement policy in
improving the academic quality of Title I schools, identifying the strategies to support
successful engagement, the needs of parents and family members to assist with
their children’s learning, and the barrier to greater parent participation in activities.

E. LAUSD will use the findings under section D to design evidence-based strategies for
more effective parent engagement and to revise, if necessary, the LAUSD Title I
Parent and Family Engagement Policy.

 

F. LAUSD will involve parents in the activities of Title I schools, ensuring that schools
listen responsively to parents, welcome them as partners, and provide leadership
and learning opportunities to them. LAUSD will ensure that parents and family
members are knowledgeable about school and District programs, engagement
opportunities, student and school performance data, parents’ rights and
responsibilities, and how to support their children’s education.
