Title I is a part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, recently reauthorized as Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA). Title I is a federally funded program, which provides services to schools based on student economic need. Schools are ranked according to percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunches and are funded in descending order until funds are depleted. Title I is designed to support state and local school reform efforts tied to challenging state academic standards in order to reinforce and enhance efforts to improve teaching and learning for students. Title I programs must be based on effective means of improving student achievement and include strategies to support Parent & Family Engagement.
Title I programs are either school-wide or targeted assistance. Schools must have a 40% free and/or reduced lunch count for students to qualify as a Title I school. Nine of ten elementary schools and four middle schools receive Title I, Part A funds to support their schoolwide programs. Additionally, Morningstar, a center for neglected youth located in Glynn County, was assigned a school code in FY 08 and receive Title I, Part A funds to support their targeted assistance program. A cooperative agreement between the Glynn County School System and Morningstar ensures quality services for their students delivered in the least restrictive environment. Funds at each facility are used to hire additional personnel to reduce class size and to purchase supplemental instructional and technological materials to help impact student achievement.
School-wide programs have plans which address the following ten components:
