4. 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 school
year are TAS. 4

11. 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

12. Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)
California Education Code requires that districts receiving funding through the Consolidated Application (ConApp) process ensure that participating schools write a SPSA.
California Education Code 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
