Title I Part A provides federal dollars for supplemental educational opportunities for disadvantaged children who are most at risk of failing to meet the State's challenging content and performance standards.

A Schoolwide program permits an eligible school to use Title I Part A funds in combination with State and local resources and most other federal education program funds to upgrade the entire educational program of the school to raise the academic achievement of all students.

Davis Elementary and Meadow Brook Intermediate are implementing School Wide Title I Programs.

Parents as partners in education are an extremely important part of the Title I program. Through parental involvement activities, parents are provided opportunities to actively participate in their child's education. Parents may work with their children using the One-Minute Reader from the Title I resource room, participate in school based activities, visit their child's classroom and teacher, and attend conferences. The Title I School Wide Compact outlines how parents, students and schools will share the responsibility for improved student learning. Every parent should receive a copy of the school's Home/School Compact to review. Compacts may be revised as needed. Parents are encouraged to volunteer on school improvement teams, assist in extended day activities, and partner with other parents, teachers, and the school administrator(s) through PTA.
