  2. Definition of Title I: • Title I provides federal funding to schools to help students who are low achieving or at most risk of falling behind. • Title I is allocated to schools based on the percentage of student receiving free/reduced lunch. • Schools with a percentage of at least 40% are eligible for a schoolwide program.

  3. The entire school district operates a Title I Schoolwide Program.

  4. Schoolwide means: • The school uses Title I funds to upgrade the entire educational program of the school. • Title I funds are used to serve all children in order to raise academic achievement. • Title I funds will be used to provide additional assistance to all students who experience difficulties in meeting the State’s performance targets.

  5. To be a “Schoolwide” School: • The school must have a free/reduced lunch count of at least 40%. • The school must collect and analyze data that effects student achievement. • The school must develop a comprehensive site plan and annually review the effectiveness of the plan.
