What is Title I?
As a Title I school, it is our responsibility to inform parents of our academic progress as it relates to the ESEA Waiver. The purpose of Title I is the following:
· To ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education.
· To reach, at minimum, proficiency on the challenging SC State Standards.
If you have any questions about Title I please contact Linda Hair,Supervisor of Title 1, Other State & Federal Grants at Email: [email protected]
The
purpose of Title I, Part A is to help local educational agencies (LEAs) improve
teaching and learning in high-poverty schools and help children failing or most
at-risk of failing meet challenging state academic standards.
This
purpose is accomplished by such efforts as follows:
- providing an enriched and accelerated educational
program;
- promoting schoolwide reform through schoolwide programs
or through additional services that increase the amount and quality of
instructional time;
- significantly upgrading the quality of instruction by
providing staff in participating schools with substantial opportunities
for professional development; and
- affording parents meaningful opportunities to
participate in the education of their children at home and at school.
