How is the Title I Program funded?

Funding for our program is based on the percentage of free and reduced lunches. Free and reduced lunch numbers can be direct certified for families that participate in SNAP (Special Nutrition Assistance Program) or OWF (Ohio Works First) program. Families that do not participate in these programs can apply through a paper application that is sent home with students each year.

Title I Students and Parent Involvement

Who are Title I students?

Through the Title 1 Schoolwide Program, our schools are better able to address the needs of all students, particularly those students who are struggling with reading and math. Children who score below grade level on state and district assessments in reading or math and are referred by the classroom teacher qualify to receive Title I services. Once these students are identified, the students are instructed in a variety of ways - small group instruction, in-class intervention, one-on-one, in various areas of reading (phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, and writing) and math (computation, fluency, problem solving) according to their needs and strengths. Instruction is delivered by teachers and other staff who meet the highly qualified requirements set by No Child Left Behind. All staff members in the position of delivering instruction to our students are highly qualified. Progress is closely monitored with staff members meeting regularly to review and discuss collected data. This ensures that the instruction planned is meeting the needs of the child and promoting his/her academic success.

Parent Involvement

Parent involvement is an important component of the Title I program. There are many ways in which parents and the school can work together to support their children as they work towards becoming better readers. At Fairfield Union, we help parents and children develop successful reading and math habits both in school and at home. Parents have a right to be involved in the planning of their child’s education. We encourage parents to be involved in these plans through volunteering in the classroom or programs, accessing resources and materials offered by staff, attending parent-teacher conferences, and attending family events planned throughout the school year. Working together we can promote a successful educational experience. Please refer to our Parent Involvement Board Policy Document and Parent Compact for more information.

State-Mandated Assessments

The Federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires that any school district receiving Title 1 funds must notify parents that they may request information regarding student participation in state-mandated assessments. As a recipient of Title 1 funds, Fairfield Union Local Schools will provide you with this information in a timely manner if you request it.
