OVERVIEW
 |
| |
|
| |
Title I is one of
the nation's oldest and largest federal programs supporting elementary and secondary
education. More than 90 percent of the school systems in the United States receive
some sort of Title I funding.
Through Title I, the federal government disburses money to school districts based
on the number of low-income families in each district as determined by census data.
Each district uses its Title I money to supplement and improve regular education
programs offered to help students meet state standards.
Title I is based on three important ideas:
1. All students should
have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education
and to reach, at minimum, proficiency on state academic standards and assessments.
2. Local districts, schools, and parents know best what their students need to succeed.
The Title I program allows them to decide how to use these funds to implement research-based
proven practices to help students who are failing or who are at risk of failing in
school.
3. Parents are partners in helping all students achieve. They have the right to be
involved in the design and operation of their school's Title I program, and, at the
same time, a responsibility to help their children succeed in school.
Students served by
Title I funds include migrant children and youth; children and youth with limited
English proficiency; children and youth who are homeless; children and youth who
have disabilities; children and youth who are neglected, delinquent or at-risk; children
in preschool activities; and any child or youth who is in academic need. Additional
information for some of these programs also is available on this Web site; see the

Supplemental Education Services (SES)
The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLBA) requires Title I schools that have not made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for three or more years to offer additional services outside the regular school day for eligible students. These supplemental educational services are designed to increase the academic achievement of students in schools in the second year of improvement, in corrective action, or in restructuring. The services, such as tutoring, are in addition to instruction provided during the school day. Supplemental educational services must be consistent with the content and instruction used by the school and be aligned with Vermont’s Framework of Standards and the Grade Expectations (GEs).

Title I Compliance Agreement for Vermont Alternate Assessment
The U.S. Department of Eduction has fully approved Vermont's primary state assessment, the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP); however, the department is under a compliance agreement to make modifications in our Vermont Alternate Assessment for students with the most significant disabilities, for whom the NECAP is not an appropriate state assessment. Under the current terms of the agreement, the department expects to have a fully approved alternate assessment by January 2011. |
