as essential to the effectiveness of the schools and directs the administration

to foster individual and organizational relationships to develop and
implement policies which bring home and school together for the benefit of
the students.
Each district in its District-wide Parental Involvement Policy must establish
the districts expectations for parental involvement. [Section 1118(a)(2),
ESEA.]
The Izard County Consolidated School District agrees to implement the
following statutory requirements:
The school district will put into operation programs, activities and
procedures for the involvement of parents in all of its schools with Title I,
Part A programs, consistent with section 1118 of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act (ESEA). Those programs, activities and procedures
will be planned and operated with meaningful consultation with parents of
participating children. Consistent with section 1118, the school district will
work with its schools to ensure that the required school-level parental
involvement policies meet the requirements of section 1118(b) of the ESEA,
and each include, as a component, a school-parent compact consistent with
section 1118(d) of the ESEA.
The school district will incorporate this district wide parental involvement
policy into its LEA plan developed under section 1112 of the ESEA.
In carrying out the Title I, Part A parental involvement requirements, to the
extent practicable, the school district and its schools will provide full
opportunities for the participation of parents with limited English
proficiency, parents with disabilities, and parents of migratory children,
including providing information and school reports required under section
1111 of the ESEA in an understandable and uniform format and, including
alternative formats upon request, and, to the extent practicable, in a language
parents understand.
If the LEA plan for Title I, Part A, developed under section 1112 of the
ESEA, is not satisfactory to the parents of participating children, the school
district will submit any parent comments with the plan when the school
district submits the plan to the State Department of Education.
The school district will be governed by the following statutory definition of

parental involvement, and expects that its schools will carry out programs,
activities and procedures in accordance with this definition:
Parental involvement means the participation of parents in regular, two-way,

other school activities, including ensuring (A) that parents play an integral
role in assisting their childs learning; (B) that parents are encouraged to be

The Izard County Consolidated School District realizes that proper health, nutrition and physical activity directly affect the attendance and the ability
of our students to learn. Childhood obesity rates have been on the increase for the past two decades. These same children and adolescents will be at
an increased risk when they reach adulthood for health issues such as heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, cancer and diabetes. The problem of
obesity and inactivity is established through poor eating and exercise patterns that are learned in childhood. The Izard County Consolidated School District
recognizes that this is a public health issue that has not occurred overnight and will likely take years to correct. Community participation is an essential
element to the implementation of a successful school wellness policy. Therefore, the Izard County Consolidated School District is committed to promoting
a school environment that addresses childrens health, well-being and their ability to learn by enlisting the support of staff, parents, community and other
organizations. Together we will develop, implement and review the nutrition and physical activities of our students in an effort to improve their overall
health and physical activity.
