What is Title I?

“…is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair,

equitable, and high quality education, and to close educational

achievement gaps.” Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)

Title I, Part A provides supplemental federal funds to help meet the educational needs of low-achieving students in the highest-poverty schools.

In order to access Title I funds, LAUSD schools must have a poverty threshold of at least 50% based on free- and reduced price meal 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.

Who Receives Title I

Services?

Although schools are eligible for Title I

funding based on poverty, the selection

process for providing Title I services to

students is not based on low-income. It is

based entirely on academic achievement.



What are Supplemental

Funds?

Additional monies above the general funds districts and schools receive to support the regular 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 to all schools.

California Education Code 64001 requires that districts receiving state, federal and other applicable funding through the Consolidated Application (ConApp) process ensure that participating schools write a SPSA.

California Education Code 52852 requires these schools to establish a School Site Council (SSC) as the decision-making council for all programs funded through the ConApp.

The School Site Council (SSC) is responsible for developing, reviewing, and approving the SPSA with written advice from appropriate school advisory committees.

Expenses described in the SPSA must be aligned to data that will address specific needs and must be annually evaluated.

LAUSD, received a waiver from some of the mandates of the

No Child Left Behind Act from the U.S. Secretary of

Education.

LAUSD will continue to implement interventions at the

designated Priority and Focus schools.

students are college-prepared and career-ready. Together we can equip

our students with the foundation of skills needed for the 21st century.
