What is Title 1?
O It is a federal formula grant.
O It is the largest federal grant the Fayette County Public Schools receives.
How Title 1 works
OThe federal government provides funding to school districts each year.
OSchool districts identify schools that are eligible to receive funds.
A Title 1 school works to:
O identify students most in need of educational help
O set goals for improvement
O measure student progress, according to KCAS/CCR
O develop programs that add to regular classroom instruction
O involve parents in all aspects of the program
Two types of Title 1 programs
O Schoolwide programsSchools with 40% or more of its children from low-income families can develop schoolwide Title 1 programs to serve all students. Schoolwide programs can combine Title 1 funds with federal, state, and local funds to improve school programs.
O Targeted assistance programsSchools with 35-39% of its children from low-income families can have a Targeted Assistance Program. These schools will work out a plan to make sure that children served by Title 1 meet KY’s achievement standards. Targeted assistance programs cannot combine federal, state, and local funds.

OThe parent-school compact states the goals and responsibilities of both parents and schools.
OThe parent involvement policy helps parents understand and take part in the school’s efforts.
