Title I Annual Meeting 2017-2018 Title I Program Overview for Schoolwide Program (SWP) Schools Federal and State Education Programs Branch 2
Purpose of the Overview To inform parents about the Title I Program and its requirements Federal and State Education Programs Branch 3
What is Title I? “… is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high quality education, and to close educational achievement gaps.” Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Title I, Part A provides supplemental federal funds to help meet the educational needs of low-achieving students in the highest-poverty schools. In order to access Title I funds, LAUSD schools must have a poverty threshold of at least 50% based on free- or reduced-price meal applications and/or CalWORKS. Schools that rank into Title I deliver supplemental services through a targeted assistance (TAS) program or develop a comprehensive school- wide plan under the schoolwide program (SWP) model. Federal and State Education Programs Branch 4
School’s Poverty Ranking and Title I Allocation Title I rank: 281 90.06% Free/Reduced Lunch Qualified Federal and State Education Programs Branch 5
Who Receives Title I Services? Although schools are eligible for Title I funding based on poverty, the selection process for providing Title I services to students is not based on low-income. It is based entirely on academic achievement. Federal and State Education Programs Branch 6
What are Supplemental Funds? Federal Title I, Part A funds are supplemental to the other state resources (general funds) that the school receives for providing an educational program for students and services that are required by law for English learners and children with disabilities. Federal and State Education Programs Branch 7
Schoolwide Program (SWP) School 8
The Two Title I Models for Serving Students May serve All Students at the School based on Supplemental Funds the needs assessment but must address the Schoolwide Program needs of students most at risk. (SWP) Supplemental Services Serve Identified Title I Students Targeted Assistance Program based on multiple objective criteria (TAS)
Schoolwide Programs (SWP) Schools write a comprehensive school plan to upgrade the core academic program in a high-poverty school, without distinguishing between eligible and ineligible children. All students may benefit from the additional services in a school operating under a schoolwide program based upon the identified needs described in the plan. Federal and State Education Programs Branch 10
Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) California Education Code 64001 requires that districts receiving state, federal and other applicable funding through the Consolidated Application (ConApp) process ensure that participating schools write a SPSA. California Education Code 52852 requires these schools to establish a School Site Council (SSC) as the decision-making council for all programs funded through the ConApp. The School Site Council (SSC) is responsible for developing, reviewing, and approving the SPSA with written advice from appropriate school advisory committees. Expenses described in the SPSA must be aligned to data that will address specific needs and must be annually evaluated. Federal and State Education Programs Branch 11
Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) The SPSA* includes: ■ Comprehensive needs assessment – Data analysis and annual SPSA Evaluation ■ Goals, based on student data, that are measurable ■ Effective methods and instructional strategies based on research that address student needs ■ Budget ■ Process of monitoring the implementation of the planned actions *Goals of the LEA Plan are embedded in the SPSA
The Cycle of Continuous Improvement in the Development of the SPSA Conduct Develop Budget Based Upon Develop Measurable Comprehensive Needs Prioritized Expenditures that Assessment Objectives and Identify Support the Strategies/Actions/Tasks (Data analysis and SPSA Strategies/Actions/Tasks Evaluation) in the SPSA Goal Pages Described in the Goals Monitor implementation Identify Expenditures in the SPSA and Ensure Expenditures are Aligned with the Strategies/Actions/Tasks in the Goals Federal and State Education Programs Branch 13
