2. Definition of Title I:
Title I provides federal funding to schools to help students who are low achieving or at most risk of falling behind.
Title I is allocated to schools based on the percentage of student receiving free/reduced lunch.
Schools with a percentage of at least 40% are eligible for a schoolwide program.

3. Robichaud operates a Title I Schoolwide Program.

4. Schoolwide means:
The school uses Title I funds to upgrade the entire educational program of the school.
Title I funds are used to serve all children in order to raise academic achievement.
Title I funds will be used to provide additional assistance to all students who experience difficulties in meeting the State’s performance targets.

5. To be a “Schoolwide” School:
The school must have a free/reduced lunch count of at least 40%.
The school must collect and analyze data that effects student achievement.
The school must develop a comprehensive site plan and annually review the effectiveness of the plan.
