The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires that districts and schools that receive Title I-A funds communicate, collaborate and work as partners with parents and families with the goal of improving student achievement and promoting academic success. These provisions reflect good practice in engaging parents/guardians and families in helping to educate their children, because students do better when parents are actively involved in the education process, both at home and at school.

Families must be engaged in the development and annual review of the school-level Family Engagement and Title I-A plans, as well as have opportunities to share suggestions and feedback. The district must establish policies that ensure all interested families are prepared to participate in planning, decision-making and oversight groups such as boards, councils, committees or working groups.

Each school that receives Title I-A funds must develop, with their families, a compact that outlines how families, students and school staff will build and develop a partnership to ensure student success. This includes describing the school's efforts to provide high-quality curriculum and instruction as well as the activities and actions that families can take to support their child's learning.

Each school must provide opportunities for families to be engaged in their child’s learning. This includes sharing information with families on how their child is performing, including their child’s strengths, as well as strategies for how families can promote student progress.
