The North End Middle School Governance Council provides an opportunity for all stakeholders in the school to craft a productive collaboration to support student success. 

The intent of the Council is to enable parents, school staff, and community leaders to work together to improve student achievement in the local school setting / site.

All Parents are welcome to attend Governance Council meetings, however, only the first ten minutes of each meeting will be open to non voting members to communicate any ideas or concerns that they would like for the Council to discuss.

About School Governance:

School Governance Councils provide a remarkable opportunity for Connecticut schools to engage with families and community members in a partnership to make our schools centers of excellence that prepare all students for success. Councils are intended to represent the diverse interests of the families, teachers, students and community members that make up the school population.

What is a School Governance Council?

School Governance Councils are an opportunity for Connecticut schools to become centers of excellence that prepare all students for success. They represent the many interests of the families and staff that make up your school’s community. This is important because research has shown that:

  • Partnerships among families, school and community members can make a powerful contribution to greater student success.

  • No matter what their income or background, students with involved families tend to have higher grades and test scores, better attendance, and higher rates of homework completion.

What does the School Governance Council Do?

The School Governance Council serves as an important role to the school administrator by:

  • Bringing together parents, school staff, students and community leaders to work together to improve student achievement;

  • Assisting the school administration in decisions impacting students’ education in areas such as: analyze data and school needs, review the school’s resources and advise the principal in making programmatic and operational changes.

Parent and Family Engagement Policy for Title I Students  

 The Board of Education (Board) endorses the parent involvement goals of Title I and encourages 

the regular participation by parents and  family members of Title I eligible children in all aspects of 

the program.  The education of children is viewed as a cooperative effort among the parents, school and community.  In this policy, the word “parent” also includes guardians and other family 

members involved in supervising the child’s schooling.  Therefore, complying with Section 1010 of 

The Every Student Succeeds Act, P.L. 114-95, the Board will provide parents and family members 

of students participating in District Title I programs meaningful opportunities to participate in the 

education of their children within these  programs. 

 

Pursuant to  federal law, the District will develop jointly with, agree on with and distribute to 

parents and family members of children participating in the Title I program a written parent and 

family engagement policy.  This policy shall be distributed in an understandable and uniform 

format and, to the extent practicable, in a language the parents can understand.  In addition, this 

policy shall  be made available to the public and updated periodically, as necessary to fulfill the 

requirements of the parent and family engagement portion of ESSA (Section 1010). 

 

At the required annual meeting of Title I parents, parents will have opportunities to participate in 

the design, development, operation and evaluation of the program for the next school year.  

Proposed activities shall be presented to fulfill the requirements necessary to address the 

requirements of parental and family engagement.  

 

In addition to the required annual meeting, at least three additional meetings shall be held, at 

various times of the day and/or evenings, for parents of children participating in the Title I program. These meetings shall be used to provide parents with: 

 

The ability to be involved in an organized, ongoing, and timely way in the planning, review and improvement of Title I programs; The opportunity to be involved in an annual evaluation of the content and effectiveness of this policy in improving in those schools receiving Title I funds the academic quality; (Evidence-based strategies shall be used by the Board, based on this evaluation, by design more effective parental involvement) 

 

Information about programs provided under Title I; 

A description and explanation of the curriculum in use, the forms of academic assessment 

used to measure student progress, and the proficiency levels students are expected to meet;  

Opportunities  to  formulate  suggestions  and  to  participate,  as  appropriate,  in  decisions relating to the education of their children; and the opportunity to bring parent comments, if they are dissatisfied with the school’s Title I program, to the district level.  

 

Title I funding, if sufficient, may be used to facilitate parent attendance at meetings through 

payment of transportation and childcare costs. 

 

The parents of children identified to participate in Title I programs shall receive from the school 

Principal and Title I staff an explanation of the reasons supporting each child's selection for the 

program, a set of objectives to be addressed, and a description of the services to be provided.   

 

Opportunities will be provided for the parents to meet with the classroom and Title I teachers to 

discuss their child's progress.  Parents will also receive guidance as to how they can assist in the 

education of their children at home. 

 

 The required annual evaluation of the District’s Title I program shall include identifying: 

 

Barriers to greater participation by parents in program activities, with particular attention 

given to parents who are economically disadvantaged, disabled, have limited English 

proficiency, have limited literacy, or are of any racial or ethnic minority background; 

The needs of parent and family members to assist with the learning of their children, 

including engaging with school personnel and teachers; and strategies which can support successful school and family interaction. 

 

Each school in the District receiving Title I funds and involved in Title I programs shall jointly 

develop with parents of children served in the program a “School-Parent Compact” outlining the 

manner in which parents, school staff and students share the responsibility for improved student 

academic achievement in meeting State standards.  

 

The “School-Parent Compact” shall: 

 

Describe the school’s responsibility to provide high-quality curriculum and instruction in a 

supportive and effective learning environment enabling children in the Title I program to 

meet the State’s challenging academic achievement standards; Indicate the ways in which each parent will be responsible for supporting their children’s learning,  such as monitoring  attendance,  homework  completion,  monitoring  television watching, volunteering in  the classroom, and participating, as appropriate, in decisions related to their child’s education and positive use of extra-curricular time; and address the importance of parent-teacher communication on an on-going basis, with at a minimum, parent-teacher conferences, frequent reports to parents, and reasonable access to staff. Ensure regular, two-way, meaningful communication between family members and school staff, and to the extent practicable, in a language understandable to family members. 

 

Information about parental involvement and actions taken to improve parental involvement shall 

be included, as required, in the strategic school profile submitted annually by the Superintendent 

to the Board of Education and the Commissioner of Education.  Such actions to improve parental 

involvement may include methods used to engage parents in the planning and improvement of 

school programs and to increase support to parent’s efforts at home to assist their children on 

learning activities. 

 

This policy has been developed jointly with, and agreed upon by, parents and family members of 

children participating in District Title I programs.
