TITLE I: Improving the Academic Achievement of Students at Risk
Title I, Part A is the largest federal program supporting public education. Title I provides resources to help ensure that all children have the opportunity to receive a quality education, resulting in their attainment of high academic standards. The US Department of Education allocates funds based on census poverty rates from ages 5 through 17. Essentially, Title I focuses on providing additional instructional time in the areas of reading and math. Eligibility is based on statutory formulas.
Seven schools in the Thompson School District operate Title I Schoolwide Programs:
- B. F. Kitchen Elementary
- Laurene Edmondson Elementary
- Lincoln Elementary
- Monroe Elementary
- Sarah Milner Elementary
- Truscott Elementary
- Winona Elementary
Ways in which schools and districts can use Title I dollars:
- Extended-time programs (such as before/after school programs, summer school)
- Parent Involvement
- Professional development
- Support for scientifically-based programs and strategies
Thompson School District Title I program focus areas:
- Upgrade educational programs to improve the achievement of the lowest-achieving students
- Address identified needs using research- and evidence-based improvement strategies
