Purpose of the Title I

Planning Meeting

What does it mean to be a Title I School?

These dollars are used to…

• Identify students who are struggling academically.
• Provide academic support to help struggling students meet the high standards of the curriculum established by the State of Alabama.
• Provide supplemental staff, materials, supplies, and academic supports .
• Conduct parent engagement meetings, seminars, workshops, and activities.

Being a Title I School means that the school receives federal funds (Title I dollars) to supplement existing school programs.

What is a Title I Consolidated Plan?

The Title I Consolidated Plan addresses how MPS will use Title I funds in the school system.

Topics include:

• Student Academic Evaluations
• Additional assistance provided to struggling students
• Coordination and integration of federal funds and programs
• (School programs including migratory education, preschool, English Learners, and supplemental educational services when applicable)
• Parent Engagement Strategies, included in the Family and Community Engagement Plan.

As a parent of a Title I school student, you have the right to be involved in the development of this plan.

What is the 1% Set Aside?

• MPS receives Title I Funds in excess of $500,000. The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) law states that 1% of these funds must be used for parent and family engagement.
• Of that 1%, 10% is reserved by MPS for initiatives related to parent-family engagement. The remaining 90% is distributed among all the schools in MPS that are Title I. Therefore, each school receives Title I funds to implement parent-family engagement with clear expectations and serious engagement goals.

As a parent of a Title I school student, you have the right to be informed on how these funds are spent.

• Elementary: ACAP, iReady

What is the Schoolwide Plan (ACIP)?

As a parent of a Title I school student, you have the right to be involved in the development of this plan.

The Schoolwide Plan (ACIP) is your school's Continuous Improvement Plan,

and includes:

Parents will complete two important surveys each year:

• Federal Programs Parent Needs Assessment (September)
• Helps identify priorities for family engagement and support
• Results guide the Family & Community Engagement Plan and Title I decisions
• Cognia Survey (Second Semester)
• Gathers feedback from parents, students, and staff about teaching, learning, and the school environment
• Results help identify strengths, areas for improvement, and actions for the ACIP

​

Your role: Complete both surveys so your voice helps shape plans and priorities for the year.
