Dennis-Yarmouth Regional School Disticts Title I
Program

(Almost all you ever wanted to know)

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.

Schools with Title I

Station Avenue Elementary
N. H. Wixon Elementary
E. H. Baker Elementary
L. C. MacArthur Elementary
M. E. Small Elementary
All schools are now Targeted Assisted

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
Math 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.

Supplemental Education

improvement must offer supplement educational
services to the poorest students.
