Title I
Title I is the largest federally funded program in our nation's schools. It serves millions of children in elementary and secondary schools each year. Through Title I, the Federal government gives money to school districts around the country based on the number of low-income families in each district. Each district uses its Title I money for extra educational services for children who are experiencing difficulty with reading and/or mathematics in order that they may be successful in the regular classroom.
Three TCS elementary schools – East Lincoln Elementary, Jack T. Farrar Elementary and Bel-Aire Elementary – are receiving Title I funding. These schools are school-wide project schools, meaning every child is eligible for Title I help.
Each school must have a plan that details how the school will meet the needs of all children. Parents, teachers, and principals work together to ensure that the plan will work to benefit children in making adequate yearly progress (AYP).
Parents of Title I children may request the professional qualifications of their child's classroom teachers and paraprofessionals. If you would like this information, you need to contact the school's office. All paraprofessionals in the Tullahoma City Schools system are highly qualified according to the state of Tennessee's standards.
Our school district has developed, with parents, teachers, and administrators, a written parent/family involvement policy. The parent/family involvement policy is available at your school. If you would like to review and suggest changes in the policy for the next year, a staff member will be available during Parent/Teacher Conferences to assist you. If you have questions, you may contact your school.
Resources for Students & Families
Each school has a school-specific parent/family involvement policy and compact. This is available at your school and on the school information app. If you would like to review and suggest changes in the policy or compact for the next year, please attend the annual school Title I meeting or review during Parent/Teacher Conferences. If you have questions, you may contact your school.
