Tanglewood Middle School Title I 

Title I is the largest federally funded educational program. This program, authorized by Congress, provides additional funding to school districts to assist schools with the highest concentration of student poverty. This is to help schools meet the educational needs and goals of their students. Schools receive Title I funds based on the number of students qualifying for free or reduced meals.

Parents and students are our clients. We have a responsibility to address their needs, questions or concerns. Parents have specific rights to know what is going on in their child’s school life. We encourage our parents to contact the school [administration and staff] when a need arises.
