What is Title 1? Title I is the largest federal assistance program for our nation’s schools. The goal of Title I is a higher quality of education for every child. The program serves millions of children in elementary and secondary schools each year. Freeport Elementary is a Title I school.
How does Title 1 work? The federal government provides funding to states each year for Title I. The Florida Department of Education sends the money to the district. The school district identifies eligible schools and provides Title I funds. Freeport Elementary implements a schoolwide program.
What is Adequate Yearly Progress? The goal is for all students to be proficient by 2014. Targets include participation rate and percent proficient in reading, writing, mathematics and graduation rates. Schools that receive Title I funds must make AYP every year or face consequences. If the school fails to meet AYP targets for two consecutive years the school is identified as in need of improvement. For the past 4 years, Freeport Elementary has not met the AYP targets in the areas of math. Last year all Reading subgroups met AYP except the Economically Disadvantaged. We continue to be a high performing school regardless of the AYP status.
What is SES Free tutoring? It is known as Supplemental Education Services (SES) will be provided for eligible students. Students eligible to receive free or reduced priced meals are eligible for the free tutoring. What is school choice? As a parent of a child enrolled in a school identified as in need of improvement for two or more years, you have the choice to transfer your child to a higher performing school.Transportation to the new school of choice is provided by the district at no cost to the family.
