What is Title I?
Title I is a federally funded program that provides funds to schools and districts based on the percentage of students qualifying to receive free or reduced-price (school) meals. The purpose is to help all students have access to quality instruction and resources that will enable them to meet state academic standards. As a Title I school we also host workshops/trainings for parents that focus on the academic needs of the students. While many of these workshops/trainings occur during daytime hours, others are held in the evenings. Additionally, these workshops/trainings are repeated, based on attendance and parent requests.
How can Title I funds be utilized?
| 1) Teacher salaries (which lowers the student/teacher ratio) |
| |
| 2) Staff development and release time for teachers to plan instruction |
| |
| 3) Extended learning time programs |
| |
| 4) Purchasing technology for classrooms |
| |
| 5) Purchasing consumable and non-consumable teaching materials |
| |
| 6) Paying presenters and childcare providers at parent workshops |
| |
| 7) Purchasing materials and resources for the Parent Center |
| |
| 8) Learning experiences |
Who decides where funds are allocated?
All decisions regarding the Title I Program are made by the Title I Committee. Committee members help decide which topics are offered at our Parent Workshops, how the Title I funds should be spent, what materials should be purchased for the Parent Center, writing, revising, and approving Title I Documents, and help analyze data based on our end-of-the-year parent surveys.
