WHAT IS A SCHOOL/PARENT/STUDENT COMPACT?
The school/parent/student compact is a written agreement between teachers, parents and students. It is a document that clarifies what families and schools can do to help students reach high academic standards. Every school receiving Title I funds must develop a compact. The compact serves as a clear reminder of everyone’s responsibility to take action at home and at school so that students may have a greater advantage of learning.
