Our School-wide Title I Program
What is Title I? Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act or ESEA (formerly No Child Left Behind) provides financial assistance to state and local educational agencies to meet the needs of at-risk students. The goal of Title I is to provide instructional services and activities which support students in meeting the state’s challenging performance standards. Title I schools have a population in which greater than 40% are from low-socioeconomic families. Title I schools identify the students at their schools who need the most educational/academic assistance based on the criteria that each school has chosen. Students do NOT have to be from low-socioeconomic families to receive Title I services. Goals are set for improving the skills of educationally disadvantaged students to measure their progress, and develop programs to support and/or supplement regular classroom instruction.
How Does Our School Receive Title I Money? First, the federal Then, State Educational Finally, Title I Schools government provides Agencies send this identify the students at funding to each state money to school their school who need districts. How much the most educational money each school /academic assistance receives is determined based on the criteria by the number of low- that school has chosen. income students attending that eligible school.
How does our school spend the Title I money? Stonewall Tell utilizes Title I funds for supplemental materials and supplies. These monies are also used to supplement staffing and to fund Extended Day programs.
How does our school participate in the Title I Program? Title I serves children through school wide programs and Targeted Assistance Programs. Title I itself is not a program, but it is in fact supplemental funding. Targeted Assistance programs devise plans and programs to make sure children served by Title I meet the same high quality standards of performance as their counterparts. At Stonewall Tell, Title I serves all children through a school-wide model thus we have the autonomy to combine Title I funds with federal, state, and local funds to improve school programs. Administrators, teachers, and parents revise the school’s Title I Program annually and a School Improvement Plan is written.

Strategic Planning
STRATEGIC PLANNING We discovered that there are areas for growth in all core subject areas of achievement. Achievement in these core subjects show a steady increase in several domains as students have moved to more rigorous content in third, fourth, and fifth grades. From the Georgia Milestones data results, the specific academic needs of all students will be addressed in the school-wide plan related to each specific subject and subgroups. As a district and school-wide initiative, our goals relate to having all students exceed the standards during the 2017-2018 school year.
Strategic Plan 2018-2019 Building Our Future
College and Career Readiness Performance Index (CCRPI) The state created a new accountability system called the College and Career Ready Performance Index . The Index helps inform parents and the public how schools are performing in a more comprehensive manner than the pass/fail system previously in place under Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). Georgia is one of 10 states granted a waiver from the federal No Child Left Behind Act in February 2012. CCRPI is designed around a comprehensive definition of college and career readiness, or the level of achievement required in order for a student to enroll in two or four year colleges, universities, and technical colleges without remediation, fully prepared for college level work and careers. This means that all students graduate from high school with both rigorous content knowledge and the ability to apply that knowledge.
College and Career Readiness Performance Index (CCRPI) The Index supports the state's core educational principles: • exemplary student achievement that prepares all for success in college and careers • effective teaching and leadership in all schools • innovative school improvement, particularly in low performing schools • reduction in the duplicative reporting requirements for local school districts • Each school receives a score out of 100 points, just like what students receive in their classes. • A school and district's overall score is made up of three major areas: Achievement (70 points possible), Progress (15 points possible) and Achievement Gap (15 points possible). In addition to the three major areas, schools can receive "Challenge Points" to add to their score (up to 10 points). • They can receive these points if they have a significant number of Economically Disadvantaged students, English Learner students and Students with Disabilities meeting expectations. • They can also receive points for going beyond the targets of the CCRPI by challenging students to exceed expectations and participate in college and career ready programs. In 2013-2014, schools began receiving ratings based on their financial efficiency and school climate, but these ratings will be for the public's information only as it will not factor into the overall CCRPI score.
