Title I status is determined by the number of students who qualify as Pupils in Poverty as identified by the USDA within a school population. Identified students are those found to be eligible for free or reduced school meals. In our district, an elementary school must have at least 35% of its students qualify as Pupils in Poverty in order for the school to receive these federal funds and middle school must have at least 45%. Our school’s Pupils in Poverty percentage is 80.10 %, and the school's allocation, which is based on this percentage is $139,690.00 for this school year. This money is based on the 2022-2023 Pupils in Poverty count from March.

Each year the school is required to write a plan based on input from a Title I planning team. This team consists of teachers, parents, school administrators and staff, district personnel, and community members. Each spring, all parents have the opportunity to provide input on the school’s Title I plan by completing and submitting the Title I parent survey.

Parent Involvement in Title I

As parents, your input in the preparation and evaluation of our school's Title I plan and its parent involvement activities is valued. As the year progresses, if you have any suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.

Parents' Right to be Involved in their Child's Education
