Franklin Avenue School has a Schoolwide Title 1 Program - every
student is considered a Title 1 student and benefits from parts of the
program. Your school has developed a schoolwide plan which allows Title 1
funds to be combined with other federal funds to upgrade the overall
educational program of the school. All staff, resources, and classes are
part of the overall Schoolwide program.
Title 1 funds are intended to
supplement
(add to) district programs. They are additional resources to provide
services beyond the basic educational program of a school and school
district. This may be in the form of staff, training or supplies.
Sometimes, a program or intervention is completely funded and maintained
by Title 1. In other instances, Title 1 funds are used to introduce a
new program into a school, with the goal of LEA (local educational
agency - state and local funding) taking over the costs once it is
established. An example of this is the Read180 and System 44 reading
programs. Title 1 funds may also be used to train and support staff in
new and innovative programs, even after the funding has transferred to
the district level.

2016-2017 Home-School Learning Compact
