Federal and State Education Programs

Purpose of Title I:

Title I is a federally-funded program that provides services to improve academic outcomes for low-achieving students in K-12 schools in order to meet academic standards.  It is a program and not just a funding source.  

Following the School Plan for Student Achievement's Cycle of Improvement, decisions are made thoughtfully with a focus on analyzing student performance data, identifying the needs of our students and creating measurable objectives, implementing relevant evidence-based strategies, monitoring implementation, and evaluating effectiveness.

In Local District South, there are 129 Title I schools striving to provide students with supplemental instructional resources, learning opportunities and personnel to prepare them to reach their academic and social-emotional goals and to become college-ready. 

Working as a team with stakeholders across the entire school community, we will follow the five Pillars of the Strategic Plan, while implementing a strong Title I Program: Academic Excellence, Joy & Wellness, Engagement & Collaboration, Operational Effectiveness, and Investing in Staff.
