Title I

Title I Schoolwide Program

All students attending a Title I Schoolwide program can receive the supplemental instructional services. The emphasis in a Title I Schoolwide program is on serving all students who show an academic need and improving the academic and social structures of the school by braiding all resources to enhance academic achievement.

Title I Targeted Assistance Program

To be eligible to receive services in a Title I Targeted Assistance program, a student must live in a Carroll County Public School district identified as receiving Title I Targeted Assistance funding. The student must currently be in grades Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 5 and be identified through multiple assessment measures to be at risk of not meeting academic achievement standards. Free and reduced meal status is not a criterion for receiving services.

Additionally, Carroll County Public Schools reserves Title I funds necessary to provide educational, support services to homeless children and youth, regardless of whether or not they attend a Title I school.

As prescribed in the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015, a uniform, county-wide plan which recognizes the parents of Title I students as partners in the education of their child(ren) is established. Parents and guardians are encouraged to help participate in the following activities:

• Monitor your child's attendance.
• Ensure homework is completed. 
• Supervise the amount of time your child uses electronic devices or watches television. 
• Volunteer in your child's classroom.
• Participate in any collaborative decision-making related to your child's education. 
• Promote positive use of your child's extracurricular time. 
• Stay informed of your child's education and communicate with the school. 

Families have opportunities to participate in family learning events throughout the year, including conference nights and activities designed for family involvement/engagement and learning.

Federal legislation for education entitled, “Every Student Succeeds Act” of 2015 requires all school systems to notify parents of their right to request information regarding the professional qualifications of their child’s classroom teacher.

• Host parent involvement and family engagement opportunities throughout the year. 
• Include opportunities for parents to volunteer and participate in their child's educational career.
