The 2012-2013 School Parent Involvement Plan (PIP) will be due to the Florida
Department of Education (FDOE) by October 12, 2012. The Department is not
planning any significant changes to the 2012-2013 parental involvement plan
template in content or format of the responses. FDOE is planning to make the
following types of updates:

Increase the character limits in the tables;

Provide a printer friendly link to the public;

Update the review section;
Pre-populate the 2012-2013 system with the responses included in the 2011-2012
system; and pre-populate the 2011-2012 evaluation included in the 2012-2013 template
with the plans from the 2011-2012 building capacity and staff development sections. If the
school implemented all of the activities planned, then the school will only need to enter the
number of sessions and number of participants. The Department will have a feature to
delete or add rows in case the school’s plan changed.

Do not contact the Florida Department of Education for assistance with the
completion of your school’s PIP. If further assistance is required, please contact Mr.
Arnaldo A. Gonzalez, Title I Administration, at 305-953-6068.
Remember that you will need to upload evidence of parent involvement in
development of the Parent-School Compact and evidence of parent
involvement in development of the PIP, as well as upload an electronic
version of the School-Parent Compact.
Be proactive. Conduct a PIP and School-Parent Compact Review Meeting for parents
and staff, before the 2011-2012 school year ends, in order to compile evidences of
parent input in the development of the PIP and the Parent-School Compact for the
2012-2013 school year. Also, identify barriers which could have hindered participation
by parents in parental involvement activities during the 2011-2012 school year, and
the steps the school will take to overcome the identified barriers. Further, when
reviewing the school’s 2012-2013 PIP, results from the school’s M-DCPS Title I
Parent/Family Involvement Survey 2012 should be utilized with revisions.

Refer to the school PIP Assurances in order to meet State guidelines, applicable
statutes, regulations, and procedures.

their parent groups for input into the changes that need to be made for the next year.
Send a signed and dated copy of the school’s PIP Assurances to the Title I Office with
the school’s Title I Annual Parent Meeting Documentation Packet by the 1st week of
