What is Title I?
Title I is federal legislation passed by
Congress. The current version of the law, No
Child Left Behind (NCLB), focuses on school
improvement and accountability for
academic achievement for students not
meeting State standards.

Title I FundingSupplement, not Supplant
Title I funding is allocated to support a supplemental program in the school.
> must be used to provide additional instructional services.
These funds may not be used to pay for basic instructional services.
Title I resources are allocated to schools with a high percentage of children whose family income is at or below the poverty level.
Disallowances if funding is used inappropriately.

The use of Title I funding must be described in the school’s CEP

The Title I Child
How do we determine student eligibility for Title I services?
> Family income determines if a school will receive Title I funds.
> When we identify students who will receive Title I services we do NOT consider family income.
> Academic needs determine who will receive Title I services.

Coordination of Resources
> Goal of a Schoolwide Program: to effectively integrate all of the resources available to the school to help all students meet challenging state and local standards
> Schoolwide Program: provides flexibility in using dollars from different funding sources to support the school’s educational plan
> Co-mingling of funds (e.g. FSF, C4E, etc.)

compliance with the federal requirements to an
emphasis on local flexibility, with accountability, to
improve teaching and learning for all students by:

>Parent Involvement
