Title I at McKinley Elementary School

 

What is Title I?


Title I is a federally funded program under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) that provides financial assistance to schools with high numbers or high percentages of children from low-income families. The goal of Title I is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic standards and assessments.

 

As a Title I school, McKinley Elementary uses these funds to support students who are academically at risk or educationally disadvantaged by providing additional resources, instructional programs, and support services.

  • STEM education that builds problem-solving and critical thinking skills

  • After-school ALEKS math intervention to reinforce math concepts

  • After-school i-Ready reading intervention for targeted literacy support

  • After-school tutoring to help students meet academic benchmarks

  • MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) that provide tailored academic and behavioral interventions

  • Classroom library expansion to promote independent reading

  • Summer enrichment programs that help prevent learning loss

  • Many additional supports designed to meet students' diverse needs

 

Additional Use of Title I Funds:

 

  • Purchase of supplemental instructional materials to support teaching in language arts and math

  • Funding for teacher professional development to improve instructional practices and student outcomes

 

By leveraging Title I resources, McKinley Elementary is committed to closing achievement gaps and ensuring every child is given the tools and support they need to thrive academically.
