Title I Information
GES will once again be a Title I school for the 2025-2026 school year!
The purpose of Title I is to assist schools in improving student achievement, staff development and parental involvement. All public schools receiving Title I funds are district schools operating as school-wide programs. Schools utilize Title I funds to enhance the regular district instructional program. Schools use funds to:
- add highly qualified staff,
- support parent and community involvement efforts,
- improve staff development,
- purchase additional instructional materials and supplies.
Title I Parent Involvement
The Title I program for parents is designed to:
- Inform parents about Title I regulations,
- Involve parents in local Title I decisions,
- Provide literacy training,
- Offer parents training in schools and in the community on ways to work with their children at home to raise student achievement, and
- Encourage active participation in their children's schools and education.
Public Law 103-382 requires:
- All Title I schools to develop jointly, with parents of participating children, a parent-student-teacher compact (written agreement) that states what parents, students and the school will do together to raise student achievement.
- Schools must sponsor an annual meeting for all Title I parents and involve parents in an "organized, ongoing and timely way" in the planning, review and improvement of Title I schools.
- Each Title I school utilize a percentage of its Title I allocation to support a comprehensive parental involvement program.
