School Wide Plan
School Wide Plan for Title I Funding
- Title I provides federal funding to schools to help students who are low achieving or at most risk of falling behind.
- Title I funds are allocated to schools based on the percentage of student receiving free/reduced lunch.
- Schools with a percentage of at least 40% are eligible for a school wide program.
- School wide means:
- The school must collect and analyze student achievement data.
- The school must develop a comprehensive site plan and annually review the effectiveness of the plan.
- The school uses Title I funds to upgrade the entire educational program of the school.
- Title I funds are used to serve all children in order to raise academic achievement.
- Title I funds will be used to provide additional assistance to all students who experience difficulties in meeting the state’s performance targets.
