Title I
Purpose of Title I funds:
Financial assistance to LEA's and schools with high numbers or high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards.
There is a clear correlation between family engagement and student performance, and Congress has sought to capitalize on this relationship by expanding the role of parents in Title I programs. Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), the most recent reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), defines family engagement as parent participation in regular, two-way, meaningful communication involving student academic learning and other school activities, to ensure that:
Parents understand that they play an integral role in their child's learning.
Parents are encouraged to be actively involved at school, and
Parents are full partners in their child's education and are included in decision-making and on advisory committees.
All schools in the Hobbs Municipal School district are Title I schools.
