Brief Context The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) signed into law on December 10, 2015. The ESSA includes provisions that will help to ensure success for students and schools.

Title I, Part A is a federally funded program under the ESSA. The purpose of Title I under the ESSA is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education, and to close educational achievement gaps.

While the ESSA has many requirements, there is a strong focus throughout the law on parent and family engagement, particularly as it relates to: – Affording parents and families substantial, authentic, and meaningful opportunities to participate in the education of their child.

– Ensuring that high-quality academic assessments, accountability systems, teacher preparation and training, curriculum, and instructional materials are aligned with challenging state academic standards so that students, teachers, parents, and administrators can measure progress against common expectations for student academic achievement.

Reasoning Behind the Handbook Assist Nevada schools and districts to meet help meet federal requirements, but most importantly, implement best practice

when it comes to family engagement. The handbook is designed to guide Nevada school and district staff, such as Title I directors/coordinators and family engagement coordinators, through the process of developing and maintaining an effective Title I Parent and Family Engagement Program.

The handbook explains and clarifies the parent and family engagement provisions and requirements under the ESSA, Title I, Part A, Section 1116, Section 1112(e)(3)(C), and Section 1112(e)(4).

Questions for the Title I CoP • When should the annual release date be for the Handbook?

• Would the Title I CoP be open to being the public body that provides feedback on the handbook on an ongoing basis?

• Would the Title CoP recommend a district’s family engagement policy for the Advisory Council for Family Engagement to review and provide feedback? [Pursuant to NRS 385.620, the Council shall review the policy of parentalinvolvement and family engagement adopted by the board of trustees ofeach school district]
