• Title 1/WIN in SAU 63

    "Title I" is the federal program that provides funding to local school districts to improve the academic achievement of struggling students. It is part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act first passed in 1965. School districts do not have to apply for Title I funding as they would have to for a competitive grant, if a school district qualifies for funding, it is entitled to the money. 

    The District must submit to the state Department of Education (DOE) a plan for how it will use the funds to improve academic achievement. Once approved, the DOE releases the funds and monitors the program.

    There are two models of programs schools may use to support Title I – the Targeted Assist model and the Schoolwide model. SAU 63 uses a Targeted Assist model in each of its schools.

    Targeted Assistance Model Defined:

    Schools operating targeted-assistance programs may only use Title I funds to provide services to children who are identified as having the greatest need for educational assistance, (children who are failing or at risk of failing to meet standards). Children with disabilities, children who are homeless, children who are neglected or delinquent, and children with limited English proficiency, may be eligible to receive Title I services. 

    If you have questions about Title 1 please contact the Title 1 building coordinator.
