Title I Annual Parent Meeting 2017-2018 North Murray High School

Title I It is the largest federal assistance program for our nation’s schools. The goal of Title I is a higher quality of education for every child. The program serves millions of children in elementary and secondary schools each year. Title I also serves children who attend parochial and private schools. Title I seeks to provide supplemental support to those students that are the furthest from meeting the standards the state has set for all children.

How Title I works. The federal government provides funding to states each year for Title I. The state educational agencies send the money to local school systems. The local school systems identify eligible schools and provide Title I resources. NMHS is a Title I school. Our greatest areas of need are English and Math. Schools work to identify students most in need of educational help. Students do not have to be from low-income families to receive help. The schools set goals for improvement, measure student progress, using standards set forth in the state’s Title I plan, develop programs that add to regular classroom instruction, and involve parents in all aspects of the program.

Title I plan development • Conduct a comprehensive needs assessment • Identify and commit to specific goals and strategies that address those needs • Create a comprehensive plan • Conduct an annual review of the effectiveness of the school-wide program and revise the plan annually or as necessary.
