How do schools qualify for Title 1 Services
How do schools qualify for Title 1 Services
To qualify, schools and districts, must have above system average of students living “in poverty.” The district's free and reduced-price lunch numbers are also used as the “poverty indicator.”
Title I provides a variety of services designed to support student success. These include smaller class sizes, extra academic materials, and computer-assisted learning opportunities. The program also promotes parent and family engagement through activities and training, offers additional in-class support for students, and provides professional development for staff to ensure they have the highest qualifications possible to help every child succeed.

USD 428 is committed to providing quality instruction for all students, doing so by employing the most qualified individuals to teach and support every student in the classroom.
The federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires school districts to notify parents of children attending a Title I school of their right to know the professional qualifications of the classroom teachers who instruct their child. As a recipient of these funds, Syracuse Elementary will provide you with this information in timely manner if you request it. Specifically, you have the right to request the following information about each of your child’s classroom teachers:
Whether the teacher meets the state qualifications and licensing criteria for the grades and core academic subjects he or she teaches.
Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or provisional status because of special circumstances.
The teacher’s college major, whether the teacher has any advanced degrees, and the field of discipline of the certification or degree.
Whether teacher assistants provide services to your child, and if so, their qualifications.
