The Title I Team supports parent engagement in Title I schools by collaborating with principals and parents to ensure compliance with Title I funding requirements. Additionally, we ensure program offerings are accessible in location and language to promote equity across Parent University and training sites.
Parent Board of Governors (PBG)
The Parent Board of governors is composed of 13 parent members from CPS Title I schools serving two year terms. The PBG serves as an advisory body to the Title I Team and the District, including The Office of Student Protections, Safety and Security, Equity, and Family and Community Engagement. To learn more about the PBG contact titleone@cps.edu
Parent Advisory Councils (PACs)
Parent Advisory Councils (PACs) empower parents to serve as partners in the education of their children at schools that receive Title 1 funding. Each academic year, schools establish Parent Advisory Councils (PACs) to bring together parents/legal guardians, teachers/staff, and community stakeholders to work with their school principal in the planning, design, implementation, and evaluation of the Title I Program.
Network Parent Advisory Council Coalitions (formerly Parent Collaborative)
Network Parent Advisory Council Coalition (NPACC) meetings, formerly Parent Collaborative, bring together parents from each of Chicago Public School’s networks. These monthly sessions are designed to bring together families from a single network to galvanize, inform, and empower parents as strategic partners in their students and schools success. Members from each school’s Title I Parent Advisory Council are encouraged to attend, and all parents are welcome.
