Title I
Title I
Title I is a federally funded program under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) designed to support schools in meeting the academic needs of students. The program provides financial assistance and sets programmatic guidelines to help ensure that all children—regardless of economic background—have a fair, equal, and meaningful opportunity to receive a high-quality education and achieve proficiency on challenging state academic standards and assessments. Districts that receive Title I, Part A funds are required to establish clear expectations for parental involvement. Below are links to communications from Clifton Public Schools outlining our commitment to engaging families in their child’s education.
-
The Parent-School Compact defines the shared responsibility for improving student academic achievement.
-
All Title I schools will wholeheartedly embrace parent engagement and involvement. To that end, each school will hold their Annual Title I meetings to inform applicable parents/guardians of programming. Also, schools will always solicit feedback regarding how to better serve parents/guardians. Feedback can be given at any time to your child’s school principal. Furthermore, each school will have regular parent involvement and engagement activities that are available by contacting your child’s school principal.

A school district that receives Title I funds must implement programs, activities, and procedures for the involvement of parents in programs assisted by Title I funding. This policy is reviewed yearly and revised based on parental input. Parent input is sought at yearly parent Title 1 meetings.

According to Title I requirements, parents/guardians of students participating in Title I schools must be notified at the start of each school year of their right to request information about the professional qualifications of their children’s teachers (Parents’ Right-to-Know). Information the LEA must provide, if requested, includes: 1) the certification and/or licensing status of the teacher; 2) degrees held by the teacher; 3) emergency or provisional status of the teacher, if applicable; and 4) qualifications of any paraprofessionals serving the child. Parents must also be notified if a teacher who is not “highly qualified” is instructing their child for four (4) or more weeks.
