TITLE I, PART A - Achievement of Economically Disadvantaged Students
Purpose
Title I, Part A is the largest federal education program supporting elementary and secondary schools. It provides additional resources to ensure all children, particularly those who are economically disadvantaged or at risk of failing, have the opportunity to meet challenging state academic standards.
At AIM, Title I funds are used to strengthen instruction, provide academic support, and increase family engagement so that every student can thrive.
How Title Funds Are Used
Title I funds support:
Additional teachers and interventionists to provide small-group instruction.
Evidence-based instructional programs in reading and math.
Tutoring and after school learning opportunities.
Parent and family engagement activities and resources.
Parent and Family Engagement

Parents’ Right to Know

Whether the student’s teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which State qualification or licensing criteria have been waived; and
Whether the student’s teacher is teaching in the field of discipline of the certification of the teacher.
Whether the child is provided services by paraprofessionals and if so, their qualifications.
