1. What is Title I and How Can I be Involved? Annual Parent Meeting John Marshall Mid-High School August 22, 2013

2. Definition of Title I: • Title I provides federal funding to schools to help students who are low achieving or at most risk of falling behind. • Title I is allocated to schools based on the percentage of student receiving free/reduced lunch. • Schools with a percentage of at least 40% are eligible for a school-wide program. JMHS has 75% of students who are eligible for free and reduced lunch.

3. John Marshall operates a Title I School-wide Program.

4. To be a “Schoolwide” School: • The school must have a free/reduced lunch count of at least 40%. • The school must collect and analyze data that effects student achievement. • The school must develop a comprehensive site plan and annually review the effectiveness of the plan.

5. Schoolwide means: • The school uses Title I funds to upgrade the entire educational program of the school. • Title I funds are used to serve all children in order to raise academic achievement. This includes after-school tutoring and buses. • Title I funds will be used to provide additional assistance to all students who experience difficulties in meeting the State’s performance targets.
