| SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS | |
| Approve All Title I Projects and Funds, Based on Final Approval from the State, for the 2014/2015 School Year (Academic Support and Federal Programs Division) | |
| EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | |
Title I funds will provide resources to support educational programs for approximately 98,000 children in 163 Title I public schools; 12 institutions for delinquent children; 8 institutions for neglected children, 6 institutions for at-risk youth; 38 non-public institutions; 9 eligible migrant high schools; 6 eligible migrant middle schools; and 20 eligible migrant elementary schools. The district has received only preliminary allocations for each Title I Project. The preliminary allocations, which may include any allowable roll-forward amount are as follows:
|
|
| STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES | |
| • Increase promotion rates at all grade levels and the percentage of high school graduates | |
| FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted: Yes) | |
| This item is included in the District Special Revenue Federal Programs Budget. This project will provide the district approximately $72,963,084 in federal funds under Title I. | |
| EVALUATION | |
| A comprehensive evaluation of the 2014/2015 Title I project will be completed in the fall of 2015. Separate evaluations will be completed for the district’s migrant, homeless, neglected and delinquent, and private school programs. The evaluations address the specific objectives of each project application and will determine the impact that funds had in meeting those objectives. Data to be analyzed will include school grades, state and national assessments, data from advance placement, teacher evaluation, homeless, neglected and delinquent, survey results, parent and community involvement, and professional development. The information will be used to better prioritize and direct federal dollars toward programs and initiatives that are closing current achievement gaps. | |
