What is Title I?

Chittenden Central Supervisory Union is committed to closing achievement gaps in essential learning areas. Title I is a federal program that assists our schools in meeting that goal by providing funds for additional reading and math support for students who struggle to meet identified standards. The Title I program is designed to ensure that all children have a fair and equitable opportunity to meet rigorous standards.

What are Title I services?

The Essex Junction School District is designated as a Title I “targeted assistance” district for reading and math. The term targeted assistance refers to services that are provided to an identified group of students who are most at risk of failing to meet designated state standards.

Through small group instruction, one-on-one tutoring, classroom-based support, and extended day and extended year learning experiences, students in grades K-8 who are identified as needing additional reading and/or math support work with highly qualified support teachers to make progress toward meeting identified standards.

Title I teachers involve parents in all aspects of the program by having conferences, sending notes / e-mails, and making phone calls throughout the year. Each school’s program also provides suggestions for parents about how to work with their children at home to improve their skills and classroom work.

Who is eligible for Title I services?

Students are eligible to receive Title I support based on their degree of need for assistance in meeting identified standards. Information gathered from state and local assessments, classroom performance, and teacher observations help to determine this level of need.
