Title I, Part A-Disadvantaged Children
Title I is a part of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act, which provides federal funds through the
Georgia Department of Education to local educational agencies (LEAs) and
public schools with high numbers or percentages of poor children to
help ensure that all children meet challenging State academic content
and student academic achievement standards.
LEAs target the Title I funds they receive to
public schools with the highest percentages of children from low-income
families. These funds may be used for children from preschool aged to
high school. Title I is designed to support State and local school
reform efforts tied to challenging State academic standards in order to
reinforce and enhance efforts to improve teaching and learning for
students. Title I programs must be based on effective means of improving
student achievement and include strategies to support parental
involvement.
Typically, Title I funds offer smaller class
sizes through additional teachers, tutoring services for struggling
students, professional learning, additional instructional resources and
supplies, as well as parent involvement materials.
We hold a School Title I meeting every
fall at David L. Rainer Elementary, and additional meetings are held as
needed throughout the school year. Parents are welcome and encouraged to
attend and provide input and feedback. Notice of the meetings is sent
home with the students, advertised in the local newspaper, and posted on
our website.
