  2. What is Title 1? • Title 1 is a federal fund. • It was authorized by the No Child Left Behind Act (but began with the passage of the Elementary and Secondary Act of 1965). • The intention of Title 1 is to help ensure that all children have the opportunity to obtain a high quality education and reach grade-level proficiency. • Title 1 funds helps students who are behind academically or at risk of falling behind. • Funds are only used to help students reach proficiency in the following academic subjects: English Language Arts and Mathematics. • Title 1 never replaces what other students receive (it is supplemental to the regular program). • Title 1 uses research based practices.

  3. Title 1 Must… • Involve the parents in all phases of planning and provide opportunities for involvement and parent trainings. • Establish a compact between the parent and school outlining expectations. • Establish a Title 1 Parent Involvement Policy. • Inform parents of their Rights to Know. • Share information with parents on their child’s progress and the school toward the accomplishments of goals set forth in the plan. • Inform parents when schools have sanctions placed on them due to not meeting the Federal Accountability standards. • Involve parents in the development of School Improvement Plans when necessary.

  4. How is Title 1 School Funding Determined? • Title 1 is a federal entitlement program (non-competitive formula). • It is allocated on the basis of student enrollment for ages 5-17, the census poverty levels, and other data. • The U.S. Department of Education distributes these funds to State Education Agencies that in turn, distribute the funds to local education agencies or school districts. • Local school districts allocate the funds to qualifying schools based on the number of poor children in a school.

  5. What are the federal and state standards for low income students and schools in poverty? • A percentage of poor (free and reduced eaters) of 35% or greater in order to be eligible for Title 1 services. • School-wide Title 1 serves all students in a school. They may be developed at schools in which at least 40 percent of the children are on free or reduced lunch. It addresses 11 strategies in the required Title 1 plan.
