Title I Funds

Any Local Educational Agency ( School District) with a Title I Allocation exceeding $500,000 is required by law to set aside 1% of it’s Title I allocation for parental involvement.

Of that 1%, 10% may be reserved at the school district for system-wide initiatives related to family engagement. The remaining 90% must be allocated to all Title I schools in the district. Therefore, each Title I school receives its portion of the 90% to implement school-level family engagement.

You, as Title I parents, have the right to be involved in how this money is spent.
