TITLE I, Part A
The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 was signed into law on January 8, 2002. The four main focuses of the law are:
- Stronger accountability for student achievement
- Focus on what works (scientifically based research)
- Flexibility and local control
- Parental Involvement
Breckenridge Independent School District has three Title I campuses. They are East Elementary, North Elementary and South Elementary. We believe that all students can achieve and the whole district is focused on raising student achievement. One essential element to student achievement is parental involvement. The National Standard for Family Involvement states that…
- Communication between the home and school will be consistent, two-way, and meaningful.
- Parents/Guardians will be actively involved in their student’s education.
- Parents/Guardians will play an integral role in assisting student learning.
- Parents/Guardians will be active and become volunteers.
- Parents/Guardians are full partners in the decision-making process that affects students and families.
- Parents/Guardians will use community resources to strengthen the family and campus effort toward student achievement.
We encourage parents to be involved in decision making by working on committees and providing input on surveys and other information gathering tools. We invite you to attend parent meetings, parent centered trainings/workshops, and join organizations such as booster clubs and PTO to take an active role in the school and those things BISD provides.

Compliance with P.L. 107-110, Section 1111(h)(6)(A)
As a parent of a student on a Title I campus, you have the right to know the professional qualifications of the classroom teachers who instruct your child. Federal law allows you to ask for certain information about your child’s classroom teachers, and requires you to receive this information in a timely manner. Specifically, you have the right to ask for the following information about each of your child’s classroom teachers:
- Whether the Texas State Board of Education has licensed or qualified the teacher for the grades and subjects he or she teaches
- Whether the Texas State Board of Education has decided that the teacher can teach in a classroom without being licensed or qualified under state regulations because of special circumstances.
- The teacher’s college major; whether the teacher has any advanced degrees and, if so, the subject of the degrees.
- Whether any teacher’s aides or similar paraprofessionals provide services to your child and their qualifications.
As a parent of a student on a BISD campus, you have the right to know if your child has been assigned or has been taught for four or more consecutive weeks by a teacher who does not meet the Federal requirements of “highly qualified.”
If you would like to receive any of this information, please call your child’s campus.
