Title I Support Program

What is Title I? 

Title I is a federally funded program whose purpose is to provide direct instructional support to individual students in order to help them improve their academic achievement. Research has revealed that four variables top the list of predictors for high school dropout: low attendance, poor behavior marks, and a failing grade in math or literacy (language arts). The Title I Support Program is one piece of a school-based model designed to keep students on track and prepare them for high school.

Who is entitled to receive Title I?

Students may receive services at the request of their parents and/or teachers if they are having difficulty attaining our district’s grade level goals and objectives. Assessment of the student’s ability in reading as well as a review of the student’s record will take place. Eligibility for the Title I Support Program will be determined based on the data collected.

How is Title I support delivered to students? 

Students may receive support either within the classroom setting, or at another location in the building by Title I support staff. The number of times students receive support during the week is determined by their grade level and need.
