Title 1 of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, is the largest federally funded educational program. This program, authorized by Congress, provides supplemental funds to school districts to assist schools with the highest student concentrations of poverty to meet school educational goals.

How do schools qualify to receive Title 1 funds?

Schools qualify based on demonstrating that the K-12, ages 5-17, membership has a sufficiently high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. Eligibility is determined by how many students at SCE qualify for free or reduced lunch. Currently it is 80 percent.

How can Title 1 funds be used at Sue Cleveland?

Title 1 funds must be used to promote:

            1.    High academic/achievement for all children, including hiring more teachers to reduce class size.

            2.    A greater focus on teaching and learning.

            3.    Flexibility to stimulate local initiatives coupled with responsibility for student performance.

            4.    Improved communication among schools, parents and community stakeholders.

We hope that you will join us for our many Title 1 trainings throughout the school year. Look for information in your child’s classroom newsletter, on our website, our school marquee, school messenger, and special event invitations arriving home on aqua colored paper.

 We have many opportunities for you to become involved in our school community and we look forward to working closely with you this school year!
