Title I

Title I, part of the No Child Left Behind legislation, is the largest federal education program. It is a source of funds targeted to qualifying schools to provide struggling students with extra help. Schools are qualified based on census data, and, currently the Morrison and Ross Schools in Braintree qualify for Title I funding.

The goal of Title I is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education. Title I teachers provide extra help in reading and mathematics to students who need additional support.

Students qualify for help by meeting several criteria, including: student screening; classroom teacher input; and grade level reading and math assessment results in GRADE and MCAS tests.

Our Title I and classroom teachers are “highly qualified” which means that they have obtained a Bachelor’s degree or higher; they have obtained full state certification and; they have demonstrated competency in the core academic area that they teach.

As a parent, you can help your child succeed by attending Parent Teacher Conferences and communicating with your child’s teacher. If he or she receives Title I services, follow the guidelines in the Teacher/Parent/Student Compact and attend the Title I Parent Night.

Together, parents and teachers can assist students in achieving to their best ability.
