Purpose and Intent of Title I-AThe purpose of Title I-A is to help ensure that all

children have the opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach proficiency on challenging state academic standards and assessments.

Title I-A provides funding that may be used to provide additional instructional staff, professional development, extended-time programs, and other strategies for raising student achievement in high-poverty schools. Targeted Assistance Program or Schoolwide

Program http://www.sde.idaho.gov/site/title_one/

Schoolwide Title I ProgramA Schoolwide Program is based upon a

comprehensive reform strategy and is designed to upgrade the entire educational program in a Title I school.

A Schoolwide Program allows the staff in a school with 40% of students identified as eligible for Free/Reduced lunch, to redesign the entire educational program to serve all students.

The Aberdeen Elementary School follows the Schoolwide Title I Program

Targeted Assistance Title I ProgramA Targeted Assistance program provides

educational services to identified individual students who have been targeted based on academic needs.

Services are delivered through extending time for the services, never during the regular instructional time.

The Aberdeen Middle School and Aberdeen High School follow this program.

Similarities Between the TwoThe state funding allocation formula is the

same.Funding is based on # of children from low-

income families (i.e., eligible for Free or Reduced Lunch).

Any school with greater than 35% of students coming from families with low-incomes is eligible for Title I funding.

The District must rank order eligible children within their boundaries which is used to determine the allocation of Title I funds.

Similarities Between the TwoWhile eligibility for school funding IS based

on the # of students from families with low incomes…selection of students for Title I services IS NOT.

In other words, students are eligible for Title I services based on what their academic achievement data show to be academic needs.

Purpose & Intent of Title I-CEducation for Migratory ChildrenThe purpose of the Migrant Education Program

is to support high-quality and comprehensive educational programs for migratory children to help reduce the educational disruptions and other problems that result from repeated moves.
