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. Britt's schoolwide Title I program offers services and programs that help improve the education of all students. Britt receives thousands of Title I dollars (click here for more information) 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 by the Title I Committee. This committee is open to all parents who wish to attend. Committee members 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. If you are interested in serving on Britt's Title I Committee, please contact Luann Hammami at 678-639-3884 or attend the next Title I meeting.
