Title I - Part A

Title I, Part A of the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 was originally written to improve educational opportunities for low-income students. The current re-authorization of the law, the Every Student Succeeds Act, provides supplemental resources so that all students, especially those who are struggling academically, receive the supports needed to successfully learn grade-level skills.

Both federal and state laws govern eligibility to receive Title I funding and specify how the funds are allocated to eligible schools and programs.  Eligible schools receive differing levels of Title I support based on the percentage of economically disadvantaged students at the school. Currently, 15 elementary schools, five middle schools, three special centers, one charter school, and 14 non-public schools in Seminole County are receiving supplemental resources through Title I, Part A.

Detailed information about Title I programs at eligible SCPS schools is available on each school’s website and in the Title I Binder in the school’s main office.

Title I Parents’ Right to Know

Districts that receive Title I funds must provide to parents of each child attending a Title I school:

• Information about their child’s level of academic achievement and growth as measured by state assessments
• Timely notification when their child is taught for 4 or more consecutive weeks by a teacher who has not met state certification or licensure requirements at the grade level and subject area in which the teacher has been assigned
• Information on assessments required by the state or district, including subject/purpose of each assessment, source of the requirement, and where possible, the time needed to complete the assessment and when/how results will be made available to parents
• Information about state and district policies pertaining to participating in required assessments
   

Parents of students attending a Title I school may request to know:

• Whether their child’s teacher meets certification requirements for the grade and subject area they teach; the degree/major of the teacher, and if the teacher is teaching under a provisional status
• If their child receives services from a paraprofessional and if so, the paraprofessional’s qualifications
• If you would like to receive this information, please contact your child's school.

Please Attend SCPS Title I Advisory Team Meetings

If your child attends a Title I school and you would like to help guide the development of planned Title I supports for parents and families (at the school and at the district level), please attend SCPS Title I Advisory Team meetings.  Dates and times for 2026-2027 meetings will be posted soon.
