How does Title I support students?
Title I funds are used to raise the academic

improve the school’s entire academic program.
Title I Schools also…
• set goals for school
improvement
• measure student progress
using Missouri State
Standards
• use Title I funds to provide
programs and services
beyond what district funds
have provided in the past
Title I in the schools…
•Each school decides how Title I funds will be used in
their school to improve education for all children.
•Data is reviewed to determine the needs in the school.
•Last school year, a team consisting of staff and parents
updated the Title I School wide Plan (SWP) that
addresses your school’s needs and describes how Title I
funds will support those identified needs.
•This plan will be reviewed and updated annually.
Parents are encouraged to be a part of the planning
process.
