A Title I School

2. Why Are We a Title I Campus?
Under Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), campuses with high numbers of economically disadvantaged students (75% or above) must be served with federal Title I funds. It is the District’s decision to serve schools below 75%.
Timberwilde Elementary is approximately 65% economically disadvantaged.

3. What does it mean to be a Title I school ?
A Title I program is designed to help students achieve academic success by providing additional opportunities through supplemental funds.

4. How Does this Happen?
Timberwilde receives approximately $242,000 from the federal government that must be spent according to strict guidelines. Title I schools must use scientifically research-based instructional strategies and implement a parent and family engagement program.
