The Title I Department oversees the Title I, II, and IV federal grant programs authorized under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) in 2015.
These critical grants provide supplemental funds to our district for:
socioeconomically disadvantaged schools and students (Title I, Part A),
building systems of support for excellent teaching and leading (Title II, Part A), and
student support and academic enrichment (Title IV, Part A).
Our department supports school leaders in using Title I resources to provide effective programming for students at risk of not meeting the rigorous state standards. These funds can be used for additional instructional staff, extended school programs, and supplemental resources to raise student achievement in high-poverty schools. We also prioritize parent and family engagement, providing ongoing training, consultation, and resources to involve families in meaningful ways to yield high academic outcomes.
Additionally, Title I works with other district departments to effectively use Title II funds for professional learning, recruitment and retention, and building the capacity of educators and leaders throughout the district. Title IV funds are used for a well-rounded education, improving school conditions for student learning and enhancing academic achievement and digital literacy with technology.
