Title I and School Choice

     This is a program that provides federal funds to schools with high percentages of children who are socio-economically disadvantaged. When Title 1 schools do not make AYP for two consecutive years they are identified as School In Need of Improvement (SINI). At that time parents are to be given the opportunity to transfer their child to another school which is not a School In Need of Improvement. If the school does not make AYP for a third consecutive year parents may request Supplemental Services (tutoring) for their children from an independent provider. Parents of students in Schools in Need of Improvement are notified in writing prior to the start of the school year if their children are eligible for school choice or supplemental services.

     Under the law, decisions governing the Title 1 program at schools and in districts need to be made with “meaningful consultation” with parents of students receiving Title 1 services. A district-wide Title 1 Parent Advisory Council meets quarterly to discuss the Title 1 program and policies governing it. If you are interested in serving on the council contact your school’s title 1 Social Worker.

     Manchester Schools with Title1 programs are: Bakersville School, Beech Street School, Gossler School, Hallsville School, McDonough School, Northwest School, Parker-Varney School, and Henry Wilson School.
