Purpose The purpose of the Title I Overview is to inform local districts, schools, and parents about the requirements of the Title I Program and the correlation with the elements of the Categorical Program Monitoring (CPM) process reviewed by the California Department of Education (CDE). A reference has been made on the bottom right hand corner of each page when applicable. CPM refers to a legal accountability process used by the CDE to validate compliance with various program requirements and outcomes of the Title I program. Title I requirements are embedded within the following CPM instruments: Cross Programs – CP Compensatory Education – CE Program Improvement – PI Federal and State Education Programs Branch

  4. Purpose of No Child Left Behind “…is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and state academic assessments” Federal and State Education Programs Branch

  5. Purpose of Title I • Title I Part A is a federal program providing supplemental resources to Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) i.e., school districts, assisting students in poverty to meet challenging state academic standards. • In order to access these funds, schools must have a poverty threshold of at least 40% based on free and reduced lunch applications and/or Calworks. • Schools that rank into Title I deliver supplemental services through a targeted assistance (TAS) program or a schoolwide program (SWP) model. Federal and State Education Programs Branch

  6. Supplemental Funds • Supplemental funds are over and above the general revenue funds the districts and schools receive to support the base program. • They are funds which are granted to districts and to schools for specific program purposes and must be used only to support and enhance the district’s and school’s regular program. • Supplemental funds may not be used to replace or supplant the funds and programs the district provides the schools. Federal and State Education Programs Branch

  7. Title I andAYP Accountability

  8. ADEQUATE YEARLY PROGRESS • The District uses results from statewide testing and other available indicators to determine annually whether schools funded by Title I, Part A are making adequate yearly progress (AYP) measured through the following four indicators: • Participation Rate • Percent Proficient*—Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) • Academic Performance Index – API • Graduation Rate (High Schools only) CPM—CE 5 Federal and State Education Programs Branch *California Standards Test, California High School Exit Exam, California Alternate Performance Assessment

  9. Release of 2008 AYP Data • As of 2006-07, Program Improvement (PI) identification is the same for TAS and SWP schools • California Department of Education (CDE) will release AYP information on August 29,2008 • Access and print Accountability Progress Report (APR) at: http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay/ CPM—CE Federal and State Education Programs Branch

  20. Elements of Parental Involvement LAUSD adopted a Districtwide Policy for parents. This Policy should be annually distributed to parents. The District’s annual Parent Student Handbook also provides parents with information on parental involvement and NCLB mandates. Each Title I, Part A funded school must develop, jointly with parents of children receiving Title I services, a written school parental involvement policy that describes how the school will carry out the parental involvement requirements in No Child Left Behind, Section 1118. The requirements consist of four components: • Involvement [of parents in the policy] • School-Parent Compact • Building Capacity for Involvement • Accessibility [for parents] CPM—CE 1, CE 2 Federal and State Education Programs Branch
