desig- nated Title I campuses. Contact: Donna Yost

Slide 5
How Does a Campus Qualify for the Title I Program? A campus
qualifies for Title I status if at least 35% of the students who
reside in the campus attendance area participate in the
Free/Reduced Meal Program.
Slide 6
Two Types of Title I Campuses: Targeted-Assisted - At least 35%
of the students participate in the Free/Reduced Meal Program
Schoolwide At least 40% of the students participate in the
Free/Reduced Meal Program
Slide 7
Major Difference Between Targeted- Assisted and Schoolwide
Campuses: In a Targeted-Assisted Program, the funding can only be
used on those students who are identified as at-risk. Detailed
records on expenditures must be maintained per student group. In a
Schoolwide Program, all students on that campus are considered to
be at risk, therefore, the funding can be used for all students on
that campus.
Slide 8
DPISD Campuses that have qualified for Federal Title I Funding:
Bonnette Junior High Carpenter Elementary Dabbs Elementary
Deepwater Elementary Deepwater Junior High Early Childhood Center
Parkwood Elementary San Jacinto Elementary At this time, all of our
Title I Campuses are designated schoolwide.
Slide 9
Limitations on Expenditures Title I Campuses receive extra
money to assure that the needs of at risk students are met. Title
I, Part A funds must be used to Supplement, not Supplant funds
which would ordinarily be provided by the district for all
students. The expenditure of these funds must follow federal
guidelines. Title I regulations require that all stakeholders,
including administrators, teachers, and parents participate in
developing the campus budget and that the budget is based on needs
identified by the campus needs assessment.

Priorities based on program evaluation data: discipline data,
graduation rates, dropout rates, retention rates,
parent/staff/student survey results, PBMAS results,
STAAR/TELPAS/AMAO results, other local data sources Title I
regulations require that all stakeholders, including
administrators, teachers, and parents participate in developing the
Need Assessment.
Slide 12
District/Campus Planning Use the Comprehensive Needs Assessment
Data to Develop: Campus and District Improvement Plans Campus and
District Parental Involvement Policies School-Parent Compact

Non-Profit Schools within district boundaries. The planning
documents are to be approved by the appropriate stakeholders in the
spring. This process can be coordinated across local, state, and
federal program requirements.

Slide 15
Consolidated Federal Application The application is to be
discussed and approved by the appropriate stakeholders at a meeting
in late May or early June. The application abstract for each of the
Title programs must reflect the priorities developed in the campus
plans. The application is completed and submitted to the Texas
Education Agency (TEA) by June 30, in order to continue expending
funds for summer activities, including salaries. The Notice of
Grant Award (NOGA) is the document which reflects the TEAs approval
of the district plan for expenditures and program objectives. The
NOGA also notifies the district of the amounts approved for each of
the Title programs.
Slide 16
How Does the District Determine the Distribution of Title I
Funds to Each School/Campus? The TEA allocates funds to the
district based on a number of factors, including Childrens Health
Insurance Program, Free/Reduced Meal Program, Medicaid, and other
indicators of poverty. The district uses the Free/Reduced Meals
count to allocate funds to the campuses, because this is the most
uniform measure available to a school district. The share of Title
I funding for each school is calculated by dividing the amount of
Title I funds available by the total number of low income students
residing in the district to determine the per pupil allocation. The
total entitlement for each campus is then determined by multiplying
the per pupil allocation by the number of eligible students.
Slide 17
How are Funds for Other Title Programs Allocated? Funds derived
from Title IIA and Title IIIA are available for use as needed on
all campuses in the District.
Slide 18
School-Parent Partnership Program Implementation involves
cooperative efforts between parents and the schools. Schools are
bound by the federal guidelines to implement the activities which
are set forth in the consolidated federal application.
Slide 19
Parent Involvement Parents must sign the Parent-School Compact.
Parents must be informed and involved in all the planning
processes. Schools must document parent conferences, planning
sessions, meetings, workshops, program evaluations, and any other
types of parent involvement.
Slide 20
Parent Involvement Continued Proof of invitationhow and to whom
sent Sign-In Sheets with roles of attendeesparent, teacher,
principal, etc. Agendas Minutes of the Meeting(s) All documents
must be titled and dated at the top. All parent communication must
be in an easily understandable language and format.
Slide 21
Compliance Reports The compliance reports provide a check of
what was actually done compared to what the district/campus(es)
indicated they were going to do on the consolidated federal
application. These compliance reports are due in the summer after
the school year is completed. If the district has not complied,
either in performance or submissions, the district could be placed
into an intervention through the Performance-Based Monitoring
Analysis System (PMBAS). This is not a good thing!! If the reports
are late, the district will miss all ICR indicators, which will
place the district into a serious stage of PBMAS intervention by
TEA.
Slide 22
