NMSD Title Programs Overview

 

Title I - Part A, Improving Basic Programs

Title I, Part A provides supplemental resources to the district to ensure all children, particularly low-achieving children in the highest-poverty schools, have a fair, equal and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and state academic assessments.

Review the North Marion School District Statement of Purpose.

Title I - School-Wide Programs

A school-wide program is built on school-wide reform strategies, rather than separate, add-on services. A school is allowed to use funds from Title I, Part A and other federal education program funds and resources to upgrade the entire educational program of the school in order to raise academic achievement for all the students.

Schools identified as Title IA school-wide programs are:

  • North Marion Primary School
  • North Marion Intermediate School

Parental involvement is the centerpiece of Title IA. Parent and family involvement is defined as regular, two-way, and meaningful communication involving student academic learning and other school activities, including ensuring that parents:

  • Play an integral role in assisting their child's learning;
  • Are encouraged to be actively involved in their child's education at school; and 
  • Are full partners in their child's education and are included, as appropriate, in decision-making and on advisory committees to assist in the education of their child.

Learn more about the North Marion School District Title I-A Compact to find out more about the parent involvement policies.

Title I - Part C

The goal of the Migrant Education Program is to ensure that all migrant students reach challenging academic standards and graduate with a high school diploma (or complete a GED) that prepares them for responsible citizenship, further learning, and productive employment.

Title IIA
