Title I is a federal program designed to help schools improve the academic achievement of disadvantaged students. Schools that receive Title I funding must develop a plan to improve student learning, which often includes providing additional academic support, hiring highly qualified teachers, and implementing effective instructional strategies. Title I funding allows schools to offer a variety of programs and services to help your child succeed, such as tutoring, small group instruction, after-school programs, professional development for teachers, and parent involvement activities.
Parents' Right to Know: The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) gives parents the right to know about their child's teacher and paraprofessional qualifications. Parents can contact their school principal to receive this information. Additionally, parents have the right to know about state or division policies regarding student participation in state or local assessments. Parents can contact the Director of Assessment and Accountability for more information.
By working together, schools and parents can ensure that all students have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
