Title I
What is Title I?
Title I is a federal program that provides funds to schools and districts based upon the percentage of students qualifying to receive free or reduced price (school) meals. The purpose is to ensure that all children have access to quality instruction and resources that will enable them to meet state academic standards.
- Teacher salaries (which lowers the student/teacher ratio - to allow for individual, small group, and differentiated instruction)
- Staff development and release time for teachers to plan instruction
- Extended learning time programs
- Purchasing technology for classrooms
- Purchasing consumable and non-consumable teaching materials
- Paying presenters and childcare providers at parent workshops
- Purchasing materials and resources for the Parent Center
- Learning experiences
All decisions regarding the Title I Program are made with the input of all stakeholders during the school's Title I Planning Meeting and Documents Review Period (and any other opportunities that parents are given to provide input). The stakeholders help decide which topics are offered at our Parent Workshops, how the Title I funds should be spent, what materials should be purchased for the Parent Center, writing, revising, and approving Title I Documents, and help analyze data based on our end-of-the-year parent surveys.

Title I Budget
As seen in the image above, the Title I budget categories are divided into 7 major categories. For School Year 2026-2027, almost 90% of the budget went to salaries and benefits for additional teachers. That was the highest category spending. The remaining 10% went to family engagement events.
