Title 1 Parent and Family Engagement News

Title I Parent News

Families- We wanted to share some reminders about our Title I School-Wide program.

Title I is one of the largest federal programs supporting elementary and secondary education. Title I funding allows us to provide resources to students. These supplemental resources help ensure that:

• All children have a fair, equal and significant opportunity to obtain a high quality education,

• Support and resources are provided to achieve proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and assessments.

At East Jessamine Middle, we use our Title I funding to pay for technology devices and software, additional classroom teachers, resources for family events, iReady diagnostics and instructional program, and professional development.

Please reach out if you have any further questions about our Title I program.
