  3. Title I is the largest federal assistance program for our nation’s schools. The goal of Title I is a higher quality of education for every child. The program serves millions of children in elementary and secondary schools each year. What is Title I?

  4. The federal government provides funding to states for Title I. The Florida Department of Education allocates money to the district. The school district identifies eligible schools and allocates Title I funds. (Schools receive money based on students who are eligible for free/reduced lunch. However, free and reduced lunch eligibility is only used to distribute funds. Once a school is designated Title 1 all students are selected to receive Title I services if they have an academic needs. ) Irby Elementary is a school-wide Title 1 School. Every parent/guardian of a student in our school is a Title I Parent. Every teacher at our school is a Title 1 Teacher. How Title 1 Works?

  5. Title I Funds • Irby Elementary is provided funding to pay for services and programs that aredesigned to increase children’s academic achievement (especially in reading and math). • Title I funds pay for the following at Irby Elementary: • Personnel • A variety of supplemental scientifically researched based curriculum materials and computer programs. • Small group intervention • Technology • Additional Staff Development • Extra time for instruction (Before and/or After-School programs) • Family Engagement Activities/Trainings and Materials • Parent Resource Area and Materials

Parent input into the decision making process is encouraged through various means. Every school has a School Advisory Council (SAC) composed of Parents, Community members, Teachers, Other staff that works at the school, Principal and Students.
