Parent involvement in the development and delivery ofTitle I services is key to successful programming and student achievement.To that end, the following parameters have been established to ensure effectiveparent involvement in Title I programming at Boyce Middle <strong>School</strong> as required byNo Child Left Behind (NCLB).1. Parents will have the opportunity to review the Title I ConsolidatedApplication in its preliminary development and offer suggestions.Invitations to participate in the review will be sent to parents and posted onthe District website.2. Parents of Title I students will be provided the opportunity to participate inan annual survey in order to provide input on programming, parentinvolvement, and performance. Findings from this information will bereviewed by the building principal, Title I teachers, and the Director of TitleI Services before the submission of the Consolidated Application each year.Changes to programming will be considered and made by this team.3.
