Title 1 News
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 provide
- additonal classroom teachers to lower class sizes
- technology devices and software for student and staff use
- High Quality Instructional Resources to aid in student learning and critical thinking
Please reach out if you have any further questions about our Title I program.
