What is Title I ?
• Title I is the largest federal assistance program for our nation’s schools.
• The goal of Title I is a higher quality of education for every child.
• The funds are given to the Local Educational Agency (LEA), which is the District, to be dispersed to the schools.
• A school qualifies as Title I because more than 75% of the students receive free and reduced lunch.
P a r e n t I n v o l v e m e n t
• Being a Title I school means receiving federal funding (Title I dollars) to supplement the school’s existing programs. School’s use Title I funds to:
• Increase student achievement • Create smaller class sizes by adding extra teachers • Add academic coaches to their staff• Add paraprofessionals to assist students• Purchase materials and supplies • Provide tutoring• Offer extra professional development for our teachers • Purchase software• Conduct parental Informational meetings/trainings/activities
