Title I Part A

Title I is a federally funded program designated to improve academic achievement in schools with a high percentage of students eligible for free and reduced lunches. 

Title I, Part A campuses are either designated as targeted-assistance campuses or schoolwide campuses.  All Corsicana ISD Title I, Part A Campuses are designated as schoolwide campuses.  Schoolwide campuses are able to use Title I, Part A funds to supplement services, programs and activities that impact the entire school population.  Campus planning and training must include the Ten Schoolwide Components, listed here:

• A comprehensive needs assessment of the entire school
• Schoolwide reform strategies that provide opportunities for all children, particularly the needs of children of target populations
• Instruction by highly qualified professional staff
• High quality and ongoing professional development for teachers, principals and paraprofessionals
• Strategies to attract high-quality, highly qualified teachers to high-need schools
• Family Engagement
• Assisting preschool children in the transition from early childhood programs
• Include teachers in the decisions regarding the use of assessments
• Students who experience difficulty mastering any of the state’s standards will be provided with effective, timely additional assistance
• Coordination and integration of Federal, State, and local services and programs

Funds are primarily used to provide supplemental highly-qualified staff, extended learning time for students, additional materials and supplies, staff development for teachers and family involvement activities.
