Title IA: Supplemental Instruction – Northfield Public Schools

Title IA

Supplemental Instruction for At-risk Students

Title IA of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) provides funding to school districts to provide supplemental instruction to students who are at risk for not reaching grade-level standards in reading and mathematics. Funding is targeted exclusively to those students who reside within the attendance boundaries of school buildings with poverty rates greater than the district as a whole, based on the percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. A portion of the district’s Title I funding flows to non-public schools located within the geographic boundaries of the district, regardless of their student poverty rate.

Fall Parent Check-in

Each fall, parents of students receiving Title I services meet with school staff to review the Parent Involvement Plan. Parents of children receiving Title I services also have the Right To Know the professional qualifications of the teachers who instruct their child.

Spring Parent Check-in

Each spring, parents of children who participate in the Title I program meet with district staff to discuss the program, review student achievement and other data, and identify goals for Title I programming the following year. These goals become the foundation upon which the district’s Title I application is constructed.

Elementary Funding

Currently, Title I funds are used to employ additional teachers who provide supplemental support in reading and mathematics in grades K – 5 at Bridgewater, Greenvale Park and St. Dominics elementary schools. The amount of dollars allocated to each school is based upon the number of students at each building who qualified for free or reduced lunch on October 1 of the prior year.

If you have questions regarding Title I services, contact Director of Special Services Cheryl Hall at 507.645.3410.
