No Child Left Behind<br />

The Law That Ushered in a New Era<br />

On January 8, 2002, President Bush signed into law the No Child Left Behind<br />

Act of 2001. The Act is the most sweeping reform of the Elementary and Secondary<br />

Education Act (ESEA) since ESEA was enacted in 1965. It redefines the federal role in<br />

K-12 education and will help close the achievement gap between disadvantaged and<br />

minority students and their peers. It is based on four basic principles: stronger<br />

accountability for results, increased flexibility and local control, expanded options for<br />

parents, and an emphasis on teaching methods that have been proven to work.<br />

With passage of No Child Left Behind, Congress reauthorized the Elementary<br />

and Secondary Education Act (ESEA)--the principal federal law affecting education<br />

from kindergarten through high school. In amending ESEA, the new law represents a<br />

sweeping overhaul of federal efforts to support elementary and secondary education<br />

in the United States. It is built on four common-sense pillars: accountability for<br />

results; an emphasis on doing what works based on scientific research; expanded<br />

parental options; and expanded local control and flexibility.<br />

Selection of Title I schools is based on the percentage of children from lowincome<br />

families (as determined by free-reduced lunch data) residing in the school’s<br />

attendance zone. There are twelve elementary schools participating in Title I<br />

Programs for the 2011 - 2012 school year.<br />

Every elementary school listed as a Title I <strong>School</strong> has been recognized as a school<br />

wide site.<br />

Once a school is considered eligible, any qualifying student who resides in an<br />

identified zone may be considered as a program participant. There are restrictions<br />

as to how the funds can be used at these sites. Please consult your Title I manual<br />

(“Title I – the Changing Landscape of Accountability”) for more information. It<br />

would definitely be in everyone’s best interest for all secondary sites to seek<br />

school-wide status. There is no private school participation at this time.<br />

Each school site is responsible for utilizing their Title I funds in a manner which<br />

will ensure that each child will make adequate yearly progress. Through the<br />

development of a site plan, tactics and strategies are developed which will meet<br />

each site’s unique needs.<br />

Allocation of Resources<br />

Resources are allocated to schools based on percentage of low-income children<br />

living in the school attendance zone.<br />

<strong>School</strong> principals have developed in partnership with teachers, parents and staff<br />

members the very best educational plan/program for their unique school utilizing<br />

Title I allocations.<br />

Funds must also be reserved for comparable services to homeless children not<br />

attending participating schools and for neglected/delinquent children in local<br />

institutions. Parent Involvement funds have also been set aside.<br />

GUIDELINES<br />

Staff or programs may not supplant a program required by the State of New<br />

Mexico as a responsibility of the regular program. It may, however, supplement<br />

an established (required) program.<br />

The State of New Mexico Title I Office considers the signed (approved)<br />

application as a contract. Deviation from the contract is a violation of the State<br />

and Federal law. Staff should make sure they are following what is in the<br />

application.<br />

A needs assessment is required each year. It is a good idea to retain paperwork<br />

verifying various program elements. Documentation is important.<br />

Title I staff members may not be used as a general assistant or used by the<br />

Operational Program with one exception: Title I staff members may have duty at<br />

the school which they are assigned if they are on an equal basis and the time<br />

period does not consume more than one period per instructional day.<br />

The district must turn in an evaluation of the Title I program each year. While<br />

most of the data is now available on SKYWARD, building principals may want<br />

to gather and retain information that would supplement the required evaluation.<br />

The requirement that Title I and non-Title I schools be comparable (in terms of<br />

effort of expenditures and program) may result in staff being transferred from<br />

time to time.<br />

4


Staff may purchase only those items, which directly affect their program and<br />

must follow locally established <strong>procedures</strong>.<br />

Title I funds are used to assist only those identified students.<br />

Title I funds are used only to meet the special cost associated with providing<br />

supplementary services to educationally disadvantaged students and do not<br />

replace regular program funds from state and local resources.<br />

Supplies, equipment and materials purchased with Title I funds must be used by<br />

identified Title I students unless the school has a Title I school wide project. All<br />

Title I sites in <strong>Clovis</strong> are considered school wide projects. ALL EQUIPMENT<br />

SHOULD BE LABELED TITLE I WITH THE SCHOOL NAME AND YEAR<br />

PURCHASED IF KNOWN. All equipment should be properly located AND<br />

INVENTORY SHOULD BE KEPT CURRENT.<br />

All participating schools should conduct a fall Parent Title I Site Meeting. Please<br />

send the following information after the FALL PARENT MEETING to Central<br />

Office. This is a good time to encourage Parent participation.<br />

• Sign In Sheet<br />

• Agenda (must include time and place)<br />

Staff Development Training is required. Keeping abreast of current trends is<br />

designed to meet the educational needs of the Title I children. All information<br />

including time, place and topic will be sent in a timely manner.<br />

Section 1118. Parental Involvement<br />

Key Stakeholders in their Children’s<br />

Education<br />

The No Child Left Behind Act makes it clearer than ever before that parents are the<br />

key stakeholders in their children’s education. There are numerous new mandates<br />

requiring states, districts and schools to answer directly to parents for a failure to<br />

improve student performance. In a mandate repeated numerous times in Title I, Part<br />

A, the law specifies that communications with parents must be “in an understandable<br />

and uniform format and, to the extent practicable, in a language the parents can<br />

understand.” Here are the new requirements:<br />

Understandable Format and Language<br />

In a mandate repeated numerous times in Title I, Part A, the law specifies that<br />

communications with parents must be “in an understandable and uniform format<br />

and, to the extent practicable, in a language the parents can understand.”<br />

State and Local Report Cards<br />

Annual state and local report cards are now required. These report cards must<br />

include information, which details the success or failure of each school, LEA and state<br />

in raising student achievement. In addition to the report card, each Title I school must<br />

provide information to parents about their children’s performance and achievement.<br />

Public reporting is a very important component of the new law.<br />

Accountability Notices<br />

NCLB is very prescriptive when it comes to the information a school is required to<br />

provide to parents should a school be found to be in need of improvement.<br />

Teacher Qualification Notices<br />

The “Parents Right to Know” provision requires all LEAs to notify parents of all children in all<br />

Title I schools that they have the right to request and receive timely information on the<br />

professional qualifications of their children’s classroom teachers. The notification must<br />

contain certain components. A sample letter can be located in the appendix.<br />

6


LEP Students and Opt Out<br />

This requirement is mandated in language found in Title I, Part A and Title III. NCLB<br />

now provides parents the opportunity to opt out of language instruction programs.<br />

This has been our practice and thus will not require any changes. The <strong>District</strong> must<br />

inform the parents of LEP children of the following:<br />

Reasons for identifying their children as LEP<br />

The children’s level of English proficiency<br />

Methods of instruction used in the program in which their children will be<br />

enrolled<br />

How the program will meet their children’s needs<br />

Exit requirements for the program<br />

In the case of a child with a disability, how the program will meet the objectives of<br />

the child’s IEP, and<br />

Their right to opt to withdraw their child from the program or to choose another<br />

program if available.<br />

Parental Involvement<br />

The <strong>District</strong> is required to set aside 2% of their Title I, Part A allocation for parental<br />

involvement. The major change here is that 95% of the funds set aside under this<br />

provision must be distributed to schools. Each site is now required to organize and<br />

fund its own parental involvement activities and that accommodations must be made<br />

to include all parents in the activities.<br />

7


As was the case with the old law, a district is required to develop and distribute to<br />

parents a written parental involvement policy. This policy must be developed jointly<br />

with parents and agreed upon by then. The new law also requires an annual review<br />

of the parental involvement plan to determine its effectiveness. Effectiveness will be<br />

determined by focusing on whether the parental involvement plan increased the<br />

academic quality of the school.<br />

Each school served under this part shall jointly develop with parents for all children<br />

served under this part a school-parent compact that outlines how parents, the entire<br />

school staff, and students will share the responsibility for improving student<br />

achievement and the means by which the school and parents will build and develop a<br />

partnership to help children achieve the State’s high standards.<br />

(1) Describe the school’s responsibility to provide high quality curriculum and<br />

instruction in a supportive and effective learning environment that enables the<br />

children served under this part to meet the State’s student performance standards,<br />

and the ways in which each parent will be responsible for supporting their<br />

children’s learning.<br />

(2) Address the importance of communication between teachers and parents on an<br />

ongoing basis through, at a minimum--<br />

(A) Parent-teacher conferences at least annually, during which the compact<br />

shall be discussed as the compact related to the individual child’s<br />

achievement.<br />

(B) Frequent reports to parents on their children’s progress forms of<br />

assessment to measure student success and proficiency of profiles; and<br />

(C) Reasonable access to staff, opportunities to volunteer and participate in<br />

their child’s class, and observation of classroom activities.<br />

(D) Offer a flexible number of meetings (morning, evening, etc.), and<br />

(E) Involve parents in an organized, ongoing and timely way in the<br />

planning, review and improvement of programs.<br />

<strong>District</strong> Policy K-150 KB<br />

Parental Involvement in Education<br />

The Superintendent, in consultation with parents, teachers, and administrators, shall<br />

develop a procedure for parental involvement in the school(s). This shall include:<br />

A plan for parent participation in the school designed to improve parent and<br />

teacher cooperation in such areas as homework, attendance, and discipline.<br />

Giving notice to parents, explaining the budget process and inviting parental<br />

involvement and input in that process prior to the date for the public hearing.<br />

Giving written notice to parents and other community members and inviting<br />

parental involvement in the instructional materials adoption process at the<br />

<strong>District</strong> level. Also give public notice regarding the instructional materials<br />

adoption process, such notice may include publication in a newspaper of<br />

general circulation in the <strong>School</strong> <strong>District</strong><br />

Parent means parent or person who has custody of the student.<br />

In order to ensure that the parents of children being served have adequate opportunity to<br />

participate in the design and implementation of the Title I program, <strong>Clovis</strong> <strong>Municipal</strong> <strong>School</strong>s<br />

has established the following practices:<br />

1. To notify each child’s parent(s)/guardian(s) in a timely manner that their child has<br />

been selected to participate in a Title I program and why the child has been<br />

selected.<br />

2. To inform each child’s parent(s)/guardian(s) that in order to provide learning<br />

opportunities most responsive to the needs and interests of their child, it is<br />

necessary that the child’s teacher consult with parents on a regular basis, and<br />

efforts be made by Title I teachers to ensure that every opportunity to establish<br />

contacts is explored.<br />

11


3. To provide workshops for parent(s)/guardian(s) designed and developed in<br />

cooperation with parents. Topics to be covered should include effective parenting<br />

and how parents may best assist their children toward positive development.<br />

4. To provide parent(s)/guardian(s) with appropriate information to assist their<br />

children at home.<br />

5. To provide parent(s)guardian(s) with the opportunity to make recommendations<br />

toward program planning and implementation.<br />

6. To provide parent(s)guardian(s) with written reports on the progress of their<br />

children, and on the results of progress evaluations of the Title I program.<br />

7. To invite all parent(s)/guardian(s) of Title I participants to an annual public<br />

meeting at which the Title I project and its activities are explained.<br />

8. To invite all parent(s)/guardian(s) to visit the Title I labs and become actively<br />

involved in their child’s educational plan<br />

12


NCLB and Title I Personnel<br />

There are new requirements for teachers and educational assistants<br />

working in Title I funded programs (section 1119). The professional<br />

qualification requirements of NCLB include some of the most dramatic<br />

and far-reaching mandates of the law. Because all schools receiving Title I<br />

funds are school wide, all teachers and educational assistants in these<br />

schools must be highly qualified as defined by the NCLB Act.<br />

In addition, each building principal of a Title I school must attest annually<br />

in writing as to whether the school is in compliance with the requirements<br />

of section 1119. Copies of the attestations must be kept at the school and<br />

central office. The required forms can be found in the appendix of this<br />

handbook and will be made available via an e-mail attachment.<br />

For more information on the various mandates of the No Child Left<br />

Behind act, we ask that you refer to the following books as references:<br />

The New Title I: Balancing Flexibility with Accountability<br />

You may also want to take advantage of the free resources that are online,<br />

While the new law provides us with many challenges, our goal will<br />

be to make this work so as to have the most positive impact for<br />

our students and their families.<br />

OTHER PROGRAMS AND SERVICES<br />

Family Services Program<br />

Wrap around services provide centralized access to an array of programs and<br />

community-resources for our children and their families. Through the utilization of a<br />

licensed social worker, a Family Services Specialist (FSS) and the collaborative efforts<br />

of the schools, families, and community, we are able to design strategies that meet<br />

family needs more effectively and utilize community resources more efficiently. It is<br />

not our goal to simply treat the problem but to empower our families to create long<br />

term solutions for the challenges and conditions encountered in their daily lives.<br />

Referral Process<br />

The referral process is simple. The school principal or counselor may call or e-mail<br />

the Family Services staff member assigned to their building and provide them with<br />

the referral. The FSS will visit the home and conduct an informal assessment. The<br />

purpose of this assessment is to focus on the strengths of the family and to get a<br />

balance of the family and what motivates them. Once the assessment has been made<br />

15


the FSS will serve as the hub for the service agencies in our community.<br />

procedure will be as follows:<br />

The<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Referral Made: <strong>School</strong> or agency personnel can make the referral.<br />

Family Assessment: The Family Services Specialist (FSS) will do an assessment of the family<br />

and determine what services are needed.<br />

Staffing: The FSS will contact or bring together those agencies responsible for the delivery of<br />

services needed by the family and schedule the necessary appointments or arrangements.<br />

Evaluation of Process: The FSS will be responsible for monitoring the progress of each family<br />

and when appropriate for exiting them from our program.<br />

Basic Support Services that would be available but not limited to would be rental and<br />

utility assistance, access to a food and clothing bank, family counseling and therapy<br />

and day care services.<br />

<strong>Clovis</strong> Family Centers<br />

In the 2009-2010 school year, we opened a new parent center at Cameo Elementary.<br />

There has been lots of collaboration and support in the starting of this family center.<br />

Lincoln Jackson Family Center continues to grow. The Family Leadership Institute<br />

(FLI) is prospering in providing families with knowledge, tools, and inspiration to<br />

help children succeed in school and in life. The Institute teaches parents and<br />

caregivers the art and skill of family leadership in support of academic achievement<br />

and life success by using a practical, ten-step approach to effectively address the<br />

As a parent of a student at<br />

, you have the right to know the<br />

professional qualifications of the classroom teachers who instruct your child. Federal Law allows<br />

you to ask for certain information about your child’s classroom teachers, and requires us to give you<br />

this information in a timely manner if you ask for it. Specifically, you have the right to ask for the<br />

following information about each of your child’s classroom teachers:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Whether the New Mexico State Department of Education has licensed or qualified the teacher<br />

for the grades and subject he or she teaches.<br />

Whether the New Mexico State Department of Education has decided that the teacher can<br />

teach in a classroom without being licensed or qualified under state regulations because of<br />

special circumstances.<br />

The teacher’s college major, whether the teacher has any advanced degrees and, if so, the<br />

subject of the degree.<br />

<br />

Whether any teachers’ aides or similar paraprofessionals provide services to your child and, if<br />

they do, their qualifications.<br />

If you would like to receive any of this information, please call<br />
