Title ITitle I is a federal program that provides money to schools and districts to ensure that all children have a fair, equal and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education to achieve proficiency on classroom, district and our state’s academic standards and assessments.

Title I supports our School Improvement Plan and the funding we receive helps us to reach our goals. (Collaboration)

We are a School-Wide Title I program, which means all students are able to benefit from Title I services.

Title I - School WideDo all schools receive Title I funds?

- No. Title I programs are available to school with the greatest concentration of low-income families.

Budget- This year, 3.4% of our school budget comes from this source.- The total Title I amount is $177,925.

To support our goals, we are using the Title I money in the following ways:- 98% is being used for staffing (Classroom Associate Educators, Family

Liaison, MathCorps, Deans, Bilingual Aide)- 2% is used for family involvement (light refreshments, transportation,

instructional supplies & resources)

Acceleration 2020 / 5-8-10 Academic Goals
