The site Title I Parent & Family Engagement Policy describes HOW the school will involve the parents in an organized, ongoing, and timely way as well as the planning, review, and improvement of the Title I program at their school.

​

The School-Parent Compact component describes the responsibilities of the school, the parent, and the student for improved student achievement.

​

Provide copies of the school’s Title I Parent & Family Engagement Policy and School-Parent Compact. Invite input from parents.

Describe how the Policy is distributed to parents each year.

Title I Funds� [Federal Funds]

• Allocated on basis of number of students eligible for free/reduced lunch. Schools receive Title I funds if 40% or more of students are eligible for free/reduced lunch. For 2023-24, the Local Control Formula Funds (LCFF) Alternate Income forms will be used.

115

Title I Funds�continued� [Federal Funds]

• Schools in SDUSD are ranked according to this percentage, and schools receive a certain amount of money per student.

Title I Funds-Parent Involvement� [Federal Funds]

• Approximately one percent of a school’s total Title I budget is for parent involvement activities.
• Funds must supplement, not supplant, district funds.

Why Is This Important?

• More Title I funding allows school to pursue a greater number of options for the benefit of the students: tutoring, class-size reduction, resource teachers, nursing, counseling, guidance assistant, software programs, etc.
• For 2023-24, there will not be any meal applications*. All students, regardless of their family’s income will have the option to eat school meals free of charge.
• The district will be collecting LCFF Alternate Income Forms for all students. These forms will help determine Title I eligibility for schools. Please make sure to return these forms to ensure the school receives the appropriate entitlement.

*A small amount of schools will be required to submit meal applications and those schools were notified by Food Services.
