“No Child Left Behind” Act
Education act signed into law in 2001 that aims to:
 Ensure that every student has a high quality education
 Challenge and motivate students
 Provide highly qualified teachers, who use proven teaching methods
 Ensure a safe, drug free learning environment
Title I Program
 Title I is the largest federal assistance program for our nation’s schools
 The goal of Title I is a higher quality of education for every child
 The program serves millions of children in public elementary and secondary
schools each year including eligible students in private schools
How Title I Works
 The federal government provides funding to states each year for Title I
 The California Department of Education sends the money to the district
 The school district identifies eligible schools and provides Title I funds
 Farnham, Sartorette and Price are all “Targeted” Title I schools.
What is “Targeted Title I”?
 Student identification is made that renders them eligible or ineligible for
services
 Students identified as most at risk of not meeting state academic standards
are served
 Programs targets resources only to those students most at-risk academically
in reading and/or math
 Title I funds are used to support additional instruction
 On-going progress-monitoring must be in place
 After-school programs should be considered
 Parents must be notified of students’ eligibility for Title I services
Parent’s Right to Know
 Be involved and request regular meetings to express your opinions and to
formulate suggestions and to participate, as appropriate, in decisions
relating to the education of your children
 Be provided information on your child’s level of achievement on
assessments like the SBAC in English language arts, mathematics, and
science
 Request and receive information on the qualifications of your child’s
teacher

Common Core State Standards
 California academic content standards establish high expectations for all
students
 Common Core State Standards identify what your child needs to know and
be able to do in all content areas.

Smarter Balanced Assessment
Consortium (SBAC)
 The Smarter Balanced Assessment System will give parents and students
more accurate and actionable information about what students are
learning. Because these assessments are computer adaptive, they will also
provide better information about the needs and successes of individual
students.
 Frequently Asked Questions: http://www.smarterbalanced.org/resourcesevents/faqs/#2446

Measuring Student Success
 CA Common Core State Standards (CCSS) form the framework of
everything taught at school
 Smarter Balanced Assessment Collaborative (SBAC) will be administered in
Spring of 2015 for grades 3-8 in ELA & Math
 District Common Assessments (Benchmarks) are administered in ELA & Math
3 times per year (Fall, Winter & Spring) for grades 1-8 & ESGI for Kindergarten
 Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA) for grades K-5 – Fall & Spring
 Content Standards Test (CST) for Science – Spring for grades 5 & 8
Parental Involvement
 Working together
 Parent Involvement Policy
 Involve parents in a meaningful way in the development, implementation and
review of the school plan
 School Site Council (SSC)
 English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC)
 Home & School Club (H&SC)
 Parent-School Compact
 Meet with your child’s teacher
 Available at the school site
Parent
Involvement
While a quality school is
important, it’s not the number
one factor in determining your
child’s probability of academic
success.
In a recent study of 10,000 U.S.
teenagers, researchers found
that the home environment was
three times more important than
the school when it comes to 18year-olds’ test results. Three
times.
The message? Schools matter,
but parents matter far more.

Next Steps
Identifying students who qualify for services:
 District will notify parents of those students by mail
 Parents will have 2-3 weeks to apply for services through an application
process
 District will consider all applicants and based on available resources and
state criteria, we will determine eligibility
 Enrollment Priority and Available Space: Federal law states we must give
first priority to the eligible children based on standardized district
assessments results. Until we hear from every parent of an eligible child, we
cannot guarantee that your child will qualify for services
