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) before and after-school 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

All decisions regarding the Title I Program are made by the Title I Committee. This committee is comprised of 13 Britt parents
(two per grade level plus parents representing program areas such as speech, ESOL, special education, and gifted), 2 teachers, 2 administrators,
the Parent Coordinator, and one community member. 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.
