Northeast Elementary School

Northeast Elementary School is a school-wide Title 1 school.  The school receives federal monies based on the number of students who qualify for reduced and free lunches. Funds are used to improve academic achievement

• Title I was passed in 1965 under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). It is the largest federal assistance program for our nation’s schools.
• Title I schools receive extra funding (Title I dollars) from the federal government. These dollars are used to:

•identify students experiencing academic difficulties and provide assistance to help these students;

•purchase additional staff, programs, materials, and/or supplies; and

•conduct parent and family engagement meetings, trainings, events, and/or activities.

• The families and parents of Title 1 students have a right, by law, to?
  • Be involved in decisions made at both the school and district level; 
  • Be provided with information on your child’s level of achievement on tests in reading/language arts, writing, mathematics, and science;
  • Request and receive information on the qualifications of your child’s teacher and paraprofessionals who are working with your child; and
  • Request opportunities for regular settings to formulate suggestions and to participate, as appropriate, in decisions about the education of your child. The school is required to respond to any such suggestions as soon as practicable.

• In general, Title 1 funds may be used for:
  • smaller class sizes,
  • additional teachers and paraprofessionals,
  • additional training for school staff,
  • extra time for instruction (before and/or after school programs),
  • parent and family engagement activities, and/or
  • a variety of supplemental teaching materials, equipment, and technology.

• Of that 1%, 10% may be reserved at the district for system-wide initiatives related to parent and family engagement. The remaining 90% must be allocated to all Title 1 schools in the district.
• You, as Title 1 parents and family members, have the right to be involved in how this money is spent.
