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

  3. Schoolwide means: • The school uses Title I funds: • To upgrade the entire educational program of the school to raise academic achievement for all students. • To provide additional assistance for students experiencing difficulties in meeting the State’s performance targets. • 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.

It is signed by the student, parent, and teacher.

  7. Parent’s Right to Know • Student Achievement: The results of State assessments are sent home to parents. • Non-Highly Qualified Teachers: Schools are required to notify parents if their child has been taught for four or more consecutive weeks by a teacher that is not highly qualified.
