  3. Purpose of the Overview To inform parents about the Title I Program and its requirements Federal and State Education Programs Branch

  4. What is Title I? “…is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high quality education, and to close educational achievement gaps.” Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Title I, Part A provides supplemental federal funds to help meet the educational needs of low-achieving students in the highest-poverty schools. In order to access Title I funds, LAUSD schools must have a poverty threshold of at least 50% based on free- and reduced price meal applications and/or CalWORKS. Schools that rank into Title I deliver supplemental services through a targeted assistance (TAS) program or a schoolwide program (SWP) model. Note: New schools that opened or new to Title I during the 2017-2018 school year are TAS. 4 Federal and State Education Programs Branch

  5. School’s Poverty Ranking and Title I Allocation Provide and share the school’s 2017-2018 poverty ranking and 2017-2018 Title I allocation 5 Federal and State Education Programs Branch

  6. Who Receives Title I Services? Although schools are eligible for Title I funding based on poverty, the selection process for providing Title I servicesto students is not based on low-income. It is based entirely on academic achievement. 6 Federal and State Education Programs Branch

  7. What are Supplemental Funds? • Additional monies above the general funds districts and schools receive to support the regular program. • Granted to districts and to schools for specific program purposes and must be used only to support and enhance the district’s and school’s regular program. • May not be used to replace or supplant the funds and programs the district provides to all schools. Federal and State Education Programs Branch

  8. Targeted Assistance School (TAS) 8

  9. The Two Title I Models for Serving Students May serve All Students at the School based on the needs assessment but must address the needs of students most at risk. Supplemental Funds Schoolwide Program (SWP) Supplemental Services Serve Identified Title I Students based on multiple objective criteria Targeted Assistance Program (TAS)

  10. Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)Targeted Assistance School (TAS) • Develop a school plan to provide Title I funded services only to students identified as Title I–eligible. In a TAS school, a student is eligible for Title I services if identified by the school staff as failing or most at-risk of failing to meet the state achievement standards based on multiple academic measures. • The plan will include the following: • Effective methods and instructional strategies based on research that strengthens the core academic program • Provide opportunities for professional development for staff who work with participating students • Primary consideration for extending learning time • Review progress of Title I participants • Provide strategies to increase parental involvement • Implementation of an accelerated, high-quality curriculum in English Language Arts and Mathematics for Title I participants • Annual evaluation and revision of the SPSA 10 Federal and State Education Programs Branch

  11. California Education Code 64001 requires that districts receiving state, federal and other applicable funding through the Consolidated Application (ConApp) process ensure that participating schools write a SPSA. California Education Code 52852 requires these schools to establish a School Site Council (SSC) as the decision-making council for all programs funded through the ConApp. The School Site Council (SSC) is responsible for developing, reviewing, and approving the SPSA with written advice from appropriate school advisory committees. Expenses described in the SPSA must be aligned to data that will address specific needs and must be annually evaluated.
