MBU provides an overview of the diversity within fieldwork placements, utiltizing information from the state regarding Title II funding.

 his information can be valuable for program analysis, ensuring that students are exposed to diverse learning environments. Monitoring also aids in addressing any potential gaps in diversity and inclusion within our placements.   

Title I, Part A provides financial assistance through state educational agencies to school divisions and public schools with high numbers or percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic content and achievement standards.                                

School divisions target the Title I funds they receive to public schools with the highest percentages of children from low-income families. Unless a participating school is operating a schoolwide program, the school must focus Title I services on children who are failing, or most at risk of failing, to meet state academic standards. Schools enrolling at least 40 percent of students from low-income families, or schools who have received a schoolwide eligibility waiver, are eligible to use Title I funds for schoolwide programs that are designed to upgrade their entire educational programs for all students, particularly the lowest-achieving students.  (VDOE website)
