Title I funds are part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) authorization enacted in 1965. Funding provides extensive supplemental services to high poverty schools which support programs that improve and meet high performance and content standards. This policy is committed to closing the achievement gap between low-income students and other students. The program is based on a family-centered approach, involving family engagement and education activities as vital components.

When a school is designated to receive Title I support, federal funds will be allocated to supplement district funding. The federal funds are specifically intended to provide additional academic and family engagement activities.

Tri County elementary school, grades K-6 has developed a Schoolwide Plan through needs assessment which includes state assessments and results.  Data shows  growth is needed in the area of reading and writing as a focus for future instruction and learning.

The plan was developed by a schoolwide committee and is reviewed annually.  The schoolwide plan is reviewed by other districts as well every three years.  All changes are discussed with any and all stakeholders.  A great focus is given to the continuous improvement goals of Tri County Schools.  A Title I meeting is held annually for parents, faculty and other stakeholders.   The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires the posting of this information to our website.   Please contact Jesse Gronemeyer (Elementary Principal) or Stef Petsche  (Director of Student Services) if you have any questions.
