What is to be evaluated as part of the parent involvement policy? What are acceptable forms of evaluation in Colorado?
Thanks, Your prompt reply is very much appreciated.

The law states that the district must conduct, with the involvement of parents, an annual evaluation of the content and effectiveness of the District Title I Parent Involvement Policy with regard to improving the academic quality of the schools serviced, including identifying barriers to greater participation by parents in activities authorized by law, particularly by parents who:
• are economically disadvantaged;
• have disabilities;
• have limited English proficiency;
• have limited literacy;
• are of any racial or ethnic minority background;
• are parents of migratory children.


Districts must develop an evaluation process that meets the above guidelines. One suggestion is to develop a rubric that allows for gauging the degree to which the academic quality of the schools served has improved and ways in which parents’ participation is increasing. Other sources of evaluation may come through district surveys and focus groups. This evaluation must consider all the various aspects of the District Title I Parent Involvement Policy.
