Purpose of the Overview
To inform local districts, schools, and parents about the requirements of the Title I Program
Major Landmarks in Federal Education
Reform 1965 – Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA)
provides first substantial aid for local schools, Title I, by far the biggest ESEA program, focuses on high-poverty areas.
2002 – No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001 signed into law. Establishes minimum qualifications for teachers and paraprofessionals and sets goals for all children achieving at state-defined “proficient” level by end of school year 2013-2014.

What is Title I?
“…is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and state academic assessments” NCLB 2001
Title I Part A is a federal program providing supplemental resources to Local Education Agencies (LEAs) i.e., school districts, assisting students in poverty to meet challenging state academic standards.
In order to access these funds, schools in LAUSD must have a poverty threshold of at least 40% based on free and reduced lunch applications and/or Calworks.
Schools that rank into Title I deliver supplemental services through a targeted assistance (TAS) program or a schoolwide program (SWP) model.
Federal and State Education Programs Branch

What are Supplemental Funds?
Over and above the general revenue funds the districts and schools receive to support the base program.
Granted to districts and to schools for specific program purposes and must be used only to support and enhance the district’s and school’s regular program.
May not be used to replace or supplant the funds and programs the district provides the schools.
What is Categorical Program Monitoring (CPM)?
The legal accountability process used by the California Department of Education (CDE) to monitor the Title I program operated by local education agencies (LEA). The process validates that:
– Title I funds are used for authorized purposes.– NCLB performance goals are achieved.

– Participation Rate– Percent Proficient* – Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs)– Academic Performance Index – API– Graduation Rate (High Schools only)
*California Standards Test, California High School Exit Exam, California Alternate Performance Assessment

Title I SWP and
ParentInvolvement
20
Required Elements of
Parent InvolvementLAUSD adopted a district-wide Title I Parent Involvement Policy for parents in April 2006. This policy should be annually distributed to parents.
The District’s annual Parent Student Handbook also provides parents with information on parental involvement and NCLB mandates.
Each Title I, Part A funded school must develop, jointly with parents of children receiving Title I services, a written school parental involvement policy that describes how the school will carry out the parental involvement requirements in No Child Left Behind, Section 1118. The requirements consist of four components:
– Involvement [of parents in the policy]– School-Parent Compact– Building Capacity for Involvement– Accessibility [for parents]

– the curriculum in use at the school– the forms of academic assessment used to measure student progress, and– the proficiency levels students are expected to meet
School Parent Involvement Policy
Federal and State Education Programs Branch

School Parent Involvement Policy
Each Title I, Part A funded school must notify parents of its written parent involvement policy in an understandable and uniform format in a language the parents can understand. The policy must also be made available to the local community.
Each Title I, Part A funded school must involve parents by convening an annual meeting to inform parents of the following:
– the school’s participation in the Title I, Part A program– the requirements of Title I, Part A– the rights of parents to be involved.
Parents must be involved in an organized, ongoing, and timely way in the planning, review and improvement of the school’s Title I program.
Federal and State Education Programs Branch
25
Parents Right to Know
No Child Left Behind mandates that Title I, Part A funded schools give parents timely notice when their child has been assigned, or has been taught for four or more consecutive weeks by a teacher who is not highly qualified. (REF 1408.7: NCLB: Qualification for Teachers; Parent Notification Requirements and Right to Know Procedures: Annual Principal Certification Form)
LAUSD parents may make written requests and receive information regarding the qualifications of their child’s teacher (i.e., credential, degree, and major).

PUBLIC SCHOOL CHOICEImplications for Non-PI Schools
NCLB requires that all students enrolled in PI schools be given the opportunity to attend a non-PI school in the District, with paid transportation.
Students who choose the option to transfer will be enrolled in classes and other activities in the same manner as all other children at the Non-PI school.
Once a student has transferred to another school as a result of this provision, the District must permit that student to remain in that school until the child has completed the highest grade offered by that school. However paid transportation ends once the original school is no longer identified as program improvement.
