  3. What is Title I? The United States Federal Government’s largest education assistance program for schools. Purpose? To help every child receive a high quality education and to achieve the high standards set by the State of Georgia.

  4. Title I at LGE… Each school decides how Title I funds will be used in their school to improve education for all children. School Council/WST Parents Community Members Educators Administrators Data is reviewed to determine the greatest need in a school. School Leadership Team, School Council and Title I Wildcat Support Team(WST) determine how Title I funds will support those identified needs.

  5. Title I at LGE. . . • LGE is required to create a School-Wide Plan (SWP), with input from the Leadership Team, School Council and Leadership Team, outlining plans for the academic achievement of all students. • Title I resources and requirements are included in the SWP. • The SWP is continuously revised based on current data and the needs of LGE students. • Schools are also required to plan how they will involve parents in the education of their children. Each school must write, with the help of parents, a school Parent Involvement Plan.

  6. How Does Title I at LGE Support Families… Parents and schools come together and sign the Parent - School compact which is an agreement between the school and the parents about how they will work together to support the child’s learning. This is a “living document” which will be reviewed at PAWS Conferences and revised to meet individual student needs, if necessary. The school’s Parent Involvement Plan describes how schools and families work together to help children succeed.
