Title
I is a part of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001
(NCLB). This act provides federal funds through
the Georgia Department of Education to local educational
agencies (LEAs) and public schools with high numbers
or percentages of poor children to help ensure that
all children meet challenging State academic content
and student academic achievement standards.
Local Educational Agencies target the Title I funds
they receive to public schools with the highest
percentages of children from low-income families.
These funds may be used for children from preschool
aged to high school. Title I is designed to support
State and local school reform efforts tied to challenging
State academic standards in order to reinforce and
enhance efforts to improve teaching and learning
for students. Title I programs must be based on
effective means of improving student achievement
and include strategies to support parental involvement.
All
Elbert County schools are eligible to receive Title
I services. This school year 2011-2012, Elbert County
Middle, Elbert County Comprehensive High School
and the Elberton Education Center will receive Title
I funds under the Targeted Assistance Programs.
All elementary schools will receive Title I funds
under the School-wide Program.
To
ensure that all parents of Title I students have
the opportunity to be informed and involved in the
planning, revision, and implementation of parental
involvement activities, the Parental Involvement
Policy for Elbert County Comprehensive High School
have been posted for your review and comments.
Please direct all comments in writing to the school
