What is Title I?

Title I is a federal grant that:

provides supplemental funds to school districts with high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards.
assists with building capacity of parents and teachers; and encourages parents to be involved in their children’s education.

Funds come from the federal government through the state to districts.

What is the school’s allocation based on? �(How much Title I money do we get and what can we spend it on?)

Title I funds for each school are primarily based on the number of qualifying students counted during FTE week which occurs in early February the previous year.

These federal funds may be spent in three areas and the purchases must be above and beyond what the district/charter is already expected to be purchasing for students and teachers.

The three general areas that funds can be used to support are:

student achievement in the areas the school has identified as needing improvement
professional development (teacher trainings) to help teachers improve their teaching skills in the areas that have been identified as needing support
parent and family engagement activities to provide support and strategies for parents and caregivers to support children at home with areas that may influence child’s academic achievement.

Suggested script:

Title I funds for your child’s school are based on the number of qualifying students enrolled at the school. These numbers are reported to the State in February each year to guide funding for upcoming year.

These federal funds are dedicated to enhancing your child's education in three important areas, going beyond what the school is already expected to provide:

Supporting Your Child's Success: Title I funds can be used to improve your child's achievement in areas where the school needs to grow. This means targeted programs and resources to help your child thrive academically.
Empowering Teachers: Your child's teachers can benefit from professional development opportunities funded by Title I. These trainings help teachers sharpen their skills to better support your child's learning journey.
Strengthening Family Engagement: As a parent or caregiver, you play a crucial role in your child's education. Title I funds can support activities and resources to help you get involved and support your child's learning at home.

By understanding how Title I funds are allocated and participating in decisions about how they are used, you can help ensure that your child receives the support they need to succeed in school and beyond.

What is the Title I Program Evaluation ?

Ways Title I program is evaluated:

Track student achievement progress: Title I programs regularly assess student academic progress. This helps us provide targeted support where needed.
Measure program impact: We regularly check if Title I programs are working. This ensures resources are used effectively for your child's benefit.
Family involvement: Share your thoughts! Your input helps improve Title I programs to better support all students.
Transparency and communication: Schools should provide transparent information about their Title I program. Look for regular updates and communication from the school or district to stay informed about the impact of Title I funding on your child's education.

Suggested Script: As parents, it's important to understand how the Title I program is evaluated to ensure it's effectively supporting our children's education. We evaluate the Title I program through multiple lenses.

Assessing Student Progress: Title I programs regularly assess your child's academic progress. These assessments help identify areas of strength and areas needing improvement, guiding the allocation of resources for targeted support.
Measure Program Impact: Schools evaluate the effectiveness of Title I programs by tracking various indicators. This ongoing monitoring ensures that resources are being used efficiently to benefit your child and others.
Family Involvement: Your input is valuable! Title I evaluations often include opportunities for parent feedback through surveys, meetings, and involvement in decision-making processes. Your thoughts help shape the program to better meet the needs of all students.

4. Transparency and Communication: Schools should provide transparent information about Title I program. Look for regular updates and communication to see how it's helping your child succeed.

During this meeting we will be sharing information on our Title I program for this school year, with the hopes that you will share your thoughts to help us make informed decisions for the upcoming school year.

By understanding how Title I programs are evaluated and actively participating in the process, you can help ensure that your child receives the best possible support to succeed academically.

To measure the effectiveness of our Title I program we must review data. This year our goal was to increase the percentage of Kindergarten through 2^nd grade students at proficiency to at least 52%, and to increase the percentage of 3^rdgrade through 6^th grade students at proficiency to at least 61%. Based on the PM3 FAST ELA Assessment, we can see that our school has partially met our goal for this focus area. To help meet this goal, we gave teachers time for collaborative planning, had professional development on small group instruction, our literacy coach trained the teachers in the Mighty Moves and Structured Literacy programs, and we held a Lexia lab before school for our Tier 3 students. We didn’t have as many students attend the before school Lexia Lab as we had hoped for. We will look at this area at our CNA meeting in June.

Summer Title I Plans�(We also saved some of our Title I funds to support the Title I program in �June 2024)

Total Held for Summer Plans: $12,032.13

Ascend Meetings: Wednesday, June 10, 2026 and Thursday, June 11, 2026 (Not Title 1 funded, but work begins Title 1 program goals and directions for 26-27 school year.)

CNA Meetings #1 and #2: Monday, June 15, 2026 and Tuesday, June 16, 2026 (Focus on academic data and survey data from Families, Community Members, Staff, and SAC committee)

CNA Meeting #3: Wednesday, June 17, 2026 (Focus on Positive School Environment)

Summer Slide materials sent home for Kindergarten through 3^rd grade

Suggested Script: Our Title I work does not end over the summer. We reserve some of our Title I funds to support our supplemental summer initiatives. These initiatives can focus on supporting student achievement, teacher professional development, and Parent Involvement over the summer. These initiatives cannot go past June- because that is when our fiscal year ends for this year’s Title I grant.

This year, we have reserved $12,032.13 of our Title I funding supported this area. This funding will provide pay for teachers and staff for the CNA meetings and also paid for the summer slide backpacks for students. These kits included a workbook of grade-appropriate reading and math, four trade books, and flash cards. We also included the Summer Reading challenge paperwork, I-Ready lessons for June, and math calendars with daily activities. These activities are provided to help keep learning fresh and keep the learning momentum going until they return in August.
