Abstract	This sixth volume in a series of seven is part of a larger study of parental involvement in four federal programs in selected school districts across the country. Presented here are the results of an intensive examination of projects funded under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Site studies of Title I projects yielded data on the five ways parents could participate in the programs--through governance, instruction, parent education, school support, and community-school relations. The researchers found that almost all parental involvement in project governance occurred through district and school advisory councils, though these councils had little involvement in project decision-making. Parent aides served at most projects and were well integrated into teaching activities in Title I classrooms. However, the aides did not participate in decision-making about instruction. Parent education and community relations activities were widespread. However, school support activities occurred infrequently and were not considered a major component of the program. The study concluded that high levels of parental involvement in Title I projects produced valuable outcomes, and that obstacles to such involvement could be overcome. (Author/WD)
