Title I

Title I Program

Title I funds are specifically targeted for children ages 5-17 experiencing poverty. There are two allowable approaches for serving  of Title I Schools. Schools are designated as either Schoolwide or Targeted Assistance. Adams 12 Five Star Schools has chosen to utilize the Schoolwide approach to serve eligible schools.  

Title I Schoolwide schools receive funds for students and has gone through a year-long collaborative planning process to create a comprehensive plan for improving student achievement.  This plan is developed by teachers, principals, paraprofessionals, support staff, parents, and community members. Schoolwide programs provide:

• Flexibility - combining resources, serving all students, redesigning the school and its services
• Coordination and Integration - reduction of curricular and instructional fragmentation
• Accountability - clear and coordinated; all students are responsible for achieving the same high standards and all teachers are responsible for teaching to and assessing growth toward the standards and benchmarks.
• Unified Goals - schoolwide programs bring parents, the community and the school together to redesign and improve the school.
