Purpose of the Overview To inform parents and family members about the Title I Program and its requirements Division of Instruction Federal and State Education Programs Branch

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, Section 1001 Title I, Part A provides supplemental federal funds to help meet the educational needs of low-achieving students in high-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. Title I schools deliver supplemental services as a Targeted Assistance School (TAS) or through a comprehensive school-wide plan under the Schoolwide Program (SWP) model. Note: New schools that opened or new to Title I during the 2018-2019 school year are TAS. 4 Division of Instruction Federal and State Education Programs Branch

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. 6 Division of Instruction Federal and State Education Programs Branch

What are Supplemental Funds? Federal Title I, Part A funds are supplemental to Other state resources (Local Control Funding Formula/general funds) that the school receives for providing an educational program for all students; and Services that are required by law for English learners and children with disabilities.

Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) 10 Division of Instruction Federal and State Education Programs Branch 10

Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) Targeted Assistance School (TAS) Develop a school plan to provide Title-I funded services only to students identified as Title I eligible. In a TAS school, a student is eligible for Title I services if identified by the school staff as failing or most at-risk of failing to meet the state academic achievement standards based on multiple, educationally related, objective criteria. The plan will include effective methods and instructional strategies to strengthen the academic program through activities such as: Professional development for staff who work with participating students Expanded learning time Implement strategies to increase the involvement of parents of eligible students Review progress of Title I participants Provide an accelerated, high-quality curriculum for Title I participants Minimize the removal of children from the regular classroom Schoolwide tiered model to prevent and address behavior problems Coordinate with and supporting the regular education program Annual evaluation and revision of the SPSA 11 Division of Instruction Federal and State Education Programs Branch 11

Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) California Education Code 64001 requires that districts receiving 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. SSC is responsible for developing, reviewing, and approving the SPSA with the review, certification and advice from appropriate school advisory committees. The goals and activities described in the SPSA must be aligned to data that will address specific needs based on data and must be annually evaluated. 12 Division of Instruction Federal and State Education Programs Branch 12
