2017-2018 WCHS Title I Parent Meeting September 13, 2017

What is Title I Title I, Part A provides formula grants to districts. Districts allocate funds to Title I schools based on their number of low-income children. The district must use Title I funds only in schools that may have been selected for services through allowable procedures. Funds are used to improve student achievement in high poverty schools. 2017/18 will be WCHS’s 3rd year as a part of this program. WCHS is at 77% Free/Reduced Lunch
