School District of Shiocton

Title 1 Schoolwide

What is Title I?

Title 1 is a federally-funded program intended to:

  • Reform and improve educational programming

  • Ensure that all students demonstrate proficient and advanced levels of academic achievement standards

We are a 'Title I School-Wide Program'

In May 2018, the School District of Shiocton transitioned from a Targeted to a School-Wide Title I Program.

With the "Target" program:

  • Additional assistance was offered to identified students only.

  • Only staff funded by Title I dollars could work with identified students.

  • Materials purchased with Title I dollars could only be used by Title I teachers and identified students.

With the "School-Wide program:

  • More flexible use of existing Title I dollars to improve achievement for all students.

  • Materials purchase with Title I dollars can be used by all staff and all students.

  • All paraprofessionals meet highly-qualified criteria.

  • Title I dollars can now be used to provide continuous learning for staff, students, and the community.

How is Title I funded & how are the funds distributed?

Title I is a federally funded program that is now used to support ALL teachers and ALL students. Previously, Title I funds could only be used by qualified Title I teachers and distributed to qualified students.

Can parents get involved?

Absolutely! ALL parents have the opportunity to share their thoughts when filling out the Title I Spring Survey. Previously, only parents of qualified students were surveyed on their experience.
