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.
