Title IA: Improving Basic Programs

Title IA: Improving Basic Programs

Title I, Part A, Improving Basic Programs, is a federal formula grant that provides supplemental resources to the district to provide academic support for children in our highest-poverty schools. Student need is recognized by the percentage of students in a school who qualify for free or reduce priced meals. 


Title I funding helps ensure that all children have a equitable educational opportunities for a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging State academic achievement standards and State academic assessments. Title I school programs often include:

  • Smaller group sizes and additional supports in reading and math
  • Reading Specialists and additional teaching assistants
  • Additional training or coaching for staff in reading, writing or math instruction
     

Schools currently identified as “Title I School-Wide Programs” are:  

  • East Gresham Elementary School
  • Hall Elementary School
  • Hogan Cedars Elementary School
  • Hollydale Elementary School
  • Highland Elementary School
  • North Gresham Elementary School

Parent Right-to-Know

Upon the request of a parent, a school receiving Title I federal funds must disclose, in a timely manner:

  • Whether the teacher has met state licensure requirements for the grade level and/or subject area in which they are currently teaching.
  • Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or provisional status through which state licensing criteria have been waived.
  • Whether the child is provided services by an instructional assistant (paraprofessional), and if so, their qualifications.

Parental Involvement 

Parent Involvement is an important part in developing Title I plans that best meet the needs of all the students in a school. Gresham-Barlow parents are encouraged to participate in the schools' parent-teacher organizations and the annual review of Title I plans.  Parents of students in Title I schools and parents of participating Migrant students have a right to review and give input on the development of the Gresham-Barlow School District Title I Parent Involvement Policy.
