Abstract	This guide, which includes both English and Spanish versions, explains that a compact is a written statement of what schools and parents are supposed to do to help students achieve. Each school that receives money from the Title I program must have a compact. Title I is the federal aid program that provides funds for extra educational services for children who are behind in school. The compact lists specific duties of school staff and parents. With a compact, everybody knows what he or she is supposed to do, and what others are supposed to do. The compact also says how parents and schools will communicate with each other. It is based on the school's standards of learning. For teachers, the compact says what they must do to teach to the content standards. For other school staff, the compact says what they should do to support the teaching of content standards and the students' ability to learn. For parents, the compact says what they could do to support their children's achievement of the standards. A parent could regard the compact as a kind of job description that lists what he or she could do to support the child's progress. Because each school's compact is different, parents should find out about how it was developed, how it is being interpreted, how the school uses the compact, and how the compact can affect families. Parents are directed to teachers and school administrators to find out these things. An attachment contains the parent involvement section of Title I of the Improving America's Schools Act. (SLD)
