Meadowlark is a Title I School. What is Title I? Title I was initially passed in 1965 under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). It is the largest federal assistance program for our nation s schools. These supplemental funds provide students the opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education, and help to close educational achievement gaps.
Funds are distributed to schools based on the number of students eligible for free/ reduced lunch. Funds must supplement, not supplant, district funds. TITLE I FUNDS One percent of a school s total Title I budget is for parental/family engagement activities.
Our school creates a plan each year to use Title I funds and other supplemental funds wisely. We review data from testing, attendance and tardies, and student/family feedback surveys We use the data to set goals and align funding, materials, and instruction to state and district academic standards. Families are encouraged to participate with the school in creating the plan for improvement each year. The School Report Card and School Improvement Plan for our school can be found on our webpage School Improvement Plan
