Title I Program
“Title I was a key part of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s program to help the poor. Using a poverty-based formula, Title I, Part A allocates funds to 90 percent of the nation’s school districts to offset the effects of poverty on the educational opportunities of low-performing children in high-poverty schools. Although the program is focused on poverty, political realities help ensure that about half of the 90,000 public schools in the country get at least some money. Each state oversees the program for its own local educational agencies (LEA) and schools, and acts as the conduit for the funds. State educational agencies (SEA) play a central role in setting standards and enforcing program requirement.” (Cowan)

The NO Child Left Behind Act of 2001 is probably the most important federal legislation to provide educational opportunity to all children since the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. With NCLB, the federal government continues to provide aids for K-12 education. The law establishes mandatory national deadline for all public schools to bring all children to an achievement level deemed “proficient” by the state.

This is the third year for Kennedy High School to be a Title One school. The school’s Title One program is a schoolwide program. This means that all students are entitled to receive the services that are funded by the Title One office. The Compensatory Education Advisory Committee (CEAC) is an elected body of stakeholders who meets once a month and reviews the school’s academic plans and makes recommendations to the School Site Council for using Title One fund. The following are some of the services provided by Title One at this school site:
  • Instructional Assistants in the classroom

  • Counseling Services

  • School Psychologist

  • Health Services (the school nurse)

  • After School Tutoring (Core Subjects)
