TITLE I INFORMATION
What Our Families Need to Know
Title I is a federally funded formula grant providing funds to eligible schools for students to meet the state’s challenging academic standards. For more details about the Title I Program in New Hampshire, click this link.
In the ConVal School District, Title I funds support eligible elementary schools to build a solid academic foundation for success. With the expectation of an inclusion-based service model, students receive supplemental educational support in addition to core instruction in the home classroom environment. We also serve students who need additional support in a "pull-out" model if needed, to lessen distractions and provide an environment conducive to meeting their learning needs.
Schoolwide vs. Targeted Title I Program Models
Schoolwide Program
To improve academic achievement throughout a school so that all students, particularly the lowest-achieving students, and the historically underserved demonstrate proficiency related to the State’s academic standards. Eligible schoolwide schools meet a 40% low-income attendance area, must conduct a yearly comprehensive needs assessment and create an updated schoolwide plan that is reviewed by staff, community and stakeholders and updated each year. Schoolwide programs: Antrim Elementary School (AES), Peterborough Elementary School (PES), and Pierce School in Bennington, NH.
Targeted Program
Only identified children may be eligible and served in a Title I targeted school model. Students served are chosen through specific academic criteria based on a points system and may be discharged from support once they meet the grade-level academic standards. For the 2026-2027 school year, ConVal does not provide targeted services in any one of our elementary schools.
