  12. TITLE I

  13. Title I –SY 2017-18 Allocations • SEA must reserve 7% of Title I for SI set aside or an amount equal to what the SEA received in 2016-17 for 1003(a) and 1003(g), whichever is greater. • Optional 3% set aside for Direct Student Services • Undecided at this point whether PA will take • If taken, will be final set aside taken in allocation process • All LEAs must contribute • If taken, distribution method has not been decided

  14. Title I –SY 2018-19 Allocations • Beginning with SY 2018-19 and going forward • 7% SI set aside • Special rule reinstated; LEAs not required to contribute, if doing so would reduce their allocation below the previous year state-determined final allocation. • If not enough set aside from contributing LEAs, then state reservation may be limited to an amount <7%. • All LEAs must contribute to State Admin set asides and 3% Direct Student Services (DSS), if taken.

  15. School Improvement/Intervention • The accountability system, part of required state plan, is still in development. • “Priority” and “Focus” are the two current accountability designations until 18-19 when new designations are determined. • Comprehensive Support (CSI) and Targeted Support (CSI) are the two new designations beginning in the 18-19 school year.

  16. School Improvement/Intervention • Comprehensive Support is the most severe designation and is initially comprised of two groups of buildings: • (1) The lowest performing 5% of Title I schools across the Commonwealth. • (2) Any High School – Title I AND non-Title I – with a graduation rate below 67%.

  17. School Improvement/Intervention • Targeted Support schools based on specific subgroups that are consistently underperforming • Title I AND non-Title I schools • oversight is primarily at the LEA-level • The four established sub-groups are: • economically disadvantaged, race, EL, and IEP. • Those buildings that are originally designated as “Targeted Support” but fail to achieve success after three years. It is yet to be determined if non-Title buildings would move into a Comprehensive Support designation.

  18. Schoolwide • A school/charter may operate a Schoolwide program if at least 40% of the children are from low income families. • Less than 40% receives PDE approval • PDE approves by having LEA complete the narrative (2nd page of the intent to plan form) • Outline how a Schoolwide program would best serve the needs of students in your school and how it will improve academic achievement and/or other factors • Complete and send “Intent to plan form” found in DFP webpage.

  19. Schoolwide Program Plan • Schools that would like to go Schoolwide must develop a Schoolwide program plan during 1 year period unless: • The LEA, not the State, determines in consultation with the school, that less time is needed to develop and implement the plan. • Plan requirements • Comprehensive needs assessment • Schoolwide reform strategies

  20. New Schoolwide Flexibility and Innovation under ESSA • Counseling and mental health programs • Mentoring programs • Access to advanced coursework • Student behavior supports • Credit recovery • Incorporate the concept of well-rounded education

  21. Schoolwide Plans due date: • Schoolwide plans (School Level Plans) for schools implementing Schoolwide programs for the first year and revised plans are due June 30, 2017 • Schools/charters may not change model (TA to SW) mid year.

  22. Schoolwide Plans • Schoolwide Template • Does not include ESSA components therefore it’s no longer acceptable as of 2017-18 school year. • For 2017-18 school year All Schoolwide schools/charters must have an updated: • School Level Plan (any school not designated as Priority/Focus) • School Improvement Plan (priority/focus)

  23. ESSA – Targeted Assistance • A secondary school operating a TA program may use funds to provide dual and concurrent programs (CTE, IHEs) services to students identified as Title I. • May use Title I funds for a schoolwide tiered model to prevent and address behavior problems, and early intervening services.

  24. Targeted Assistance Targeted assistance programs in 2017-18 may now include subjects defined by a “well-rounded education.”  • “Well-rounded education’’ means courses, activities, and programming in subjects such as: • English, reading or language art writing, science, technology, engineering, mathematics, foreign languages, civics and government, economics, arts, history, geography, computer science, music, career and technical education, health, physical education, and any other subject, as determined by the State or local educational agency.

  25. Supplement Not Supplant • Statutory language eliminated use of 3 presumptions of supplanting for Title I part A • An LEA used Title I funds to provide services that the LEA was required to make available under federal, state or local law. • An LEA used Title I funds to provide services that the LEA provided with nonfederal funds in the prior year. • An LEA used Title I funds to provide services for children participating in Title I program that the LEA provided with nonfederal funds to children not participating in Title I. • Only applies to Title I. • Title II, III, and IV supplanting rules stay the same.

  26. Supplement Not Supplant • LEAs must show methodology used to allocate State and local funds is the same as it would be in the absence of Title I funds. • Report on actual per pupil expenditures of local, state, and federal funds for LEAs and schools. All expenditures not just instructional. • PDE workgroup meeting now to address methodology • LEAs cannot be asked to: • Identify individual costs and services as supplemental • Provide services through a particular methodology or instructional setting

  27. 50% rule for High School • The 50% low-income serving option for high schools is the only major change from NCLB to ESSA in regard to ranking and serving. • This is optional but is another mechanism to push funding into high schools and thus aligns with other portions of ESSA in addressing the secondary level.

  28. 50% rule for High School • If a LEA were to choose the 50% rule for high schools such buildings would have to be served in much the same way as the 75% rule is applied for all buildings currently. • Per pupil allocation rank ordering would occur as if such high schools were above 75% low-income.
