A well-designed and implemented Title I program touches all aspects of the school’s operation. Title I supported programs seek to improve achievement for all students, particularly the lowest achieving in the areas of reading, math, and science.

The schoolwide program plan places the ten required components of the Title I regulations into five groups: schoolwide reform strategies, instruction by highly qualified staff, parental involvement, additional support for students who need it, and evaluations.

The program plan must include a description of how the school will implement the program components as listed above, how the school will use resources from Title I and other sources to implement those components, and a list of federal, state, and local programs that will be consolidated in the schoolwide program.

The Title I Department assists the schools in preparing their program plans which are aligned with each school’s Educational Plan for Student Success (EPSS) and the Title I allocation.

Resource Teachers provide technical assistance, support, and guidance in the areas of program and budget, as well as monitoring the schools for compliance.

During the 2011-12 school year, our department will support and assist 69 elementary schools, 20 middle schools, and 9 high schools through Public School Program Support.
