    School -- Parent -- Student Compact

    2015-2016

     

    Each school receiving funds under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) must develop a written school-parent compact with parents for all children participating in Title I activities, services, and programs.

     

    Soldan Intl. Studies High School, parents, and students participating in Title I activities, services, and programs agree that this compact outlines how school staff, parents, and students will share responsibility for improving student academic achievement.  The school and parents will build a partnership to help children achieve Missouri’s high standards on End of Course tests (EOC), attendance, graduation requirements, and post-secondary education. The compact will be evaluated annually to determine its effectiveness with revisions made as necessary.
