We are a Title I district because…Our schools have a high number of students who are eligible for Free & Reduced Lunch.
Title I will focus on free lunch students, who receive an additional tutoring service.
– We receive additional federal money to help increase student achievement in our school.
– School wide/Unified Improvement Plans (UIP) were written to clearly define how the money will be spent. Parents are welcome to attend a Building Accountability Advisory Committee (BAAC) or Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) meeting or come to the office to see the SIP.

– 1% of the schools Title I budget will be spent on parent involvement. Parents have the right to have input as to how this money is spent. They can learn more by contacting your BAAC or PTO parent representative or attending a meeting.

Schools need to make AYP …
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) is a federal performance measure, which is based on the percent of students scoring partially proficient or above on the CSAP.
It looks at overall performance of a school
And it looks at the performance of ELL, SPED, and different ethnic groups

transportation.

Continuous Improvement: Thinking Systemically - Acting Systemically
District 50 and Title I work best when the processes of accountability, improvement and acquiring resources work together seamlessly.
In every district, the processes of accountability drive the work of teachers and instructional leaders. These are resource hungry processes. The consolidated Grant and Schoolwide programs are federal grants intended to support local improvement efforts.
