ABOUT TITLE I

---

The purpose of Title I, Part A is to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards, regardless of economic status. Title I is the government's attempt to provide all children with the opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education, and to close the achievement gap.

Translation of SIP/Translation of various languages:

Title I schools must have the entire School Improvement Plan translated in the language(s) of parents of enrolled students.  Translated School Improvement Plans must be placed in the campus’ Title I bin as well as made available in the front office.  Although it is “best practice” to have the SIP’s available in all languages (as spoken by the parents represented at your campus), the External Funding Department highly suggests  where there is at least 10% of any parent population who speak such language(s) that the document must be translated in those languages.

Purpose of the Title I, Part A Program:

The purpose of Title I, Part A is to ensure that all children, particularly low achieving children in the highest-poverty schools, have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging State academic achievement standards and State academic assessments.
