What is Title I? Title I is the major component of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). It is a federally funded program for the nation’s schools. The goal of Title I is to improve the educational program for all Hadley students. Title I schools spend the funds allocated based on the goals set in the School Improvement Plan which is developed jointly by parents and faculty.

Who Decides How Funds Are Used? Every school has an Educational Excellence School Advisory Committee (EESAC) composed of: Parents/Guardians Principal Teachers Community Stakeholders Students

What is Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)? Gives states the authorization to identify their own goals to address proficiency on tests This law maintains the annual testing requirements for Reading, Math and Science

Working Together! The ESSA law requires that all Title I schools and families work together for success.
