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 />

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 />
goals of the FLI.<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 />
