1. 2015-2016 Title IA Proposal to serve all schools with 60% of students on FREE Lunch

2. ESEA History In 1965, as part of the “War on Poverty”, President Lyndon B. Johnson passed the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Title I was the most funded portion of that legislation. Title I funds are supposed to help impoverished communities provide increased educational opportunities and close the achievement gap that exists with wealthier communities.

3. ESEA History (continues) Schools with 40% or more students living in poverty are eligible to become “school-wide” Title I schools. Schools write annual plans based on annual needs assessments to describe the use of the Title I funds and how those funds will help to improve student academic outcomes. Poverty in Utah is determined by Free & Reduced lunch applications.
