What is Title I?

Title I is a federal funded program resulting from the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. It is designed to help all students get a good education and meet academic standards. All students are held to the same high standards. Shiloh's schoolwide Title I program offers services and programs that help improve the education of all students. Shiloh MS receives thousands of Title I dollars which is used to pay for the following:

1) teacher salaries (which lowers the student/teacher ratio)

2) staff development and release time for teachers to plan instruction

3) extended learning time programs

4) purchasing technology for classrooms

5) purchasing consumable and non-consumable teaching materials

6) paying presenters and childcare providers at parent workshops

7) purchasing materials and resources for the Parent Center

8) learning experiences

 

All decisions regarding the Title I Program are made during our the Title I Planning Meetings. This meeting is comprised of Shiloh parents, teachers, administrators, the Parent Coordinator, and community members. Those who attend the meeting help decide which topics are offered at our Parent Workshops, how the Title I funds should be spent, what materials should be purchased for the Parent Center, writing, revising, and approving Title I Documents, and help analyze data based on our end-of-the-year parent surveys.
