PROGRAMS FOR DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS (TITLE I)
In order to meet its goal of providing educational opportunities for all students, the Evansville Community School District shall participate in the Federal Title I program. Specific activities for parent and teacher engagement in the District's Title I project shall be developed by the administration with input from staff. Program planning activities will be implemented on an annual basis.
As required by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), the District has established and implemented a District wide salary schedule and will use state and local funds to provide services to Title I schools, which if taken as a whole, are at least comparable to services being provided to schools not receiving Title I funds. Should all schools receive Title I funds, state and local funds will be used to provide services which are substantially comparable in each school.
The District will ensure equivalency among schools or grade levels in provision of:
1) Teachers, administrators, support staff and clerical
2) Instructional materials and supplies
Documentation verifying compliance is maintained annually. Unpredictable changes in enrollment or personnel assignments which occur after the beginning of a school year need not be included as a factor in determining comparability of services.
