1
Dennis-Yarmouth Regional School Disticts Title I
Program
  • (Almost all you ever wanted to know)

2
What is Title I?
  • Title I is a federally funded program to help
    educationally disadvantaged children
  • It is an entitlement program, which means funds
    are allocated on the basis of census poverty,
    student enrollment, and other data.
  • For more information, please visit
    http//www.doe.mass.edu/

3
Schools with Title I
  • Station Avenue Elementary
  • E. H. Baker Elementary
  • M. E. Small Elementary
  • All schools are now Targeted Assisted
  • In addition, this year, we have an after school
    program at N. H. W

4
  • Title I funds are supposed to boost spending for
    high-poverty students, not fill holes created by
    district allocation practices.

5
What are Target Assisted Schools
  • Target assisted schools provide services to
    eligible children who are identified by multiple
    criteria as having the greatest need for special
    assistance
  • Children included are children who are
    economically disadvantaged, children with
    educational depravation, migrant children, and
    limited English proficient children, children who
    have attended Head Start, Even Start, or Reading
    First children, Neglected or Delinquent children,
    and Homeless children
  • Special Rule Funds received under this part may
    not be used to provide services that are
    otherwise required by law to be made available to
    children described above, but may be used to
    coordinate or supplement such services
  • Each targeted assistance program shall help
    participating children meet the States
    challenging student achievement standards
    expected for all children, ensure that planning
    for these children is incorporated into existing
    school planning, use effective methods and
    instructional strategies that are based on
    scientifically based research that strengthens
    the core academic program of the school,
    coordinate with and support the regular
    educational program, provide instruction by
    highly qualified teachers, provide opportunities
    for professional development with teachers,
    principals and paraprofessionals, including
    parents, and to provide strategies to increase
    parental involvement.

6
Supplement vs. Supplant
  • This is the most important regulation in Title I.
  • What it means is that Title I is in addition to
    whatever the regular classroom offers.
  • If a child receives a half hour of mathematics
    instruction in Title I, s/he must receive at
    least a half hour of Title I instruction in the
    regular classroom.

7
The basic school represents instruction provided
by the Dennis-Yarmouth District. Title I would
be the bell tower. It is over and above what the
district is providing for all the children of the
district. This is supplementing.
8
Selection Criteria
  • A multiple criteria sheet is used.
  • DY Criteria Sheets
  • Students receive points, children with the most
    points are served first.
  • A rank order list is established for each school.

9
Selection Criteria (cont)
  • Once children have been put on the rank order
    sheet, the Title I teachers set up class groups
    based on the most educationally deprived children
    entering first.
  • The teachers then work down the list. As
    children either move or graduate from Title I the
    next child on the list is picked up.

School Choice
  • Under NCLB (No Child Left Behind) any school or
    district which is deemed in school improvement as
    a result of the MCAS must offer school choice to
    parents.
  • This means that your child can go to any school
    in the district which you want them to attend.
