Title I is a Federal aid program through which most Ohio school districts receive funding to provide supplemental instruction for those students who qualify. The allocation of funds for each school district is based on a legislative formula dependent upon the distribution of low-income children and state per-pupil expenditures. However, Title 1 services are provided for all children who qualify as needing assistance in language arts or mathematics regardless of income.

Quaker Academies seek the active participation of all Title 1 students’ parents in improving their children’s academic achievement.  Parents are encouraged to communicate regularly with the Title 1 teachers to discuss the progress of their child. 

We encourage your help and assistance in a variety of ways:

The purpose of this part is to provide grants to State educational agencies, local educational agencies, State agencies for higher education, and eligible partnerships in order:

1. To increase student academic achievement through strategies such as improving teacher and principal quality and increasing the number of highly qualified teachers in the classroom and highly qualified principals and assistant principals in schools; and
2. To hold local educational agencies and schools accountable for improvements in student academic achievement.

1. To help ensure that English learners, including immigrant children and youth, attain English proficiency and develop high levels of academic achievement in English; 
2. To assist all English learners, including immigrant children and youth, to achieve at thigh levels in academic subjects so that all English learners can meet the same challenging state academic standards that all children are expected to meet;
3. To assist teachers in establishing, implementing, and sustaining effective language instruction educational programs designed to assist in teaching English learners, including immigrant children and youth
4. To assist teachers to develop and enhance their capacity to provide effective instructional programs designed to prepare English learners, including immigrant children and youth, to enter all-English instructional settings; and
5. To promote parental, family, and community participation in language instruction educational programs for the parents, families, and communities of English learners.

Quaker Academies receives IDEA-B funds for the purpose of the education of children with disabilities. Annually, during our five year forecast board meeting, discussion will be held regarding how the District will spend its IDEA-B funds and time will be allowed for public comment.

This money may be used for staffing, educational materials, equipment, and other costs to provide special education and related services.

ARP IDEA is a one-time funding opportunity that will not be available to sustain ongoing activities such as permanent employees. ARP funds will be allocated to Districts following traditional procedures used for IDEA Part B allocations.
