School-Wide Annual Reviews
Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) is designed to help disadvantaged children meet challenging content and student performance standards. Part A of Title I provides financial assistance through State Educational Agencies (SEAs) to Local Education Agencies (LEAs). Funds are distributed to LEA schools with high numbers of children from low-income families, for LEA programs which target individual students most at risk of not meeting the standards, and to local institutions for neglected or delinquent children. Schoolwide program’s three core elements: (1) comprehensive needs assessment based on data for all students in the school; (2) Schoolwide Program Plan Template based on the assessment, and (3) an evaluation (annual review) to determine whether the plan worked and needed improvements.
Lander Valley High School is a Targeted Title I School; therefore, Title I, Part A funds provide services to eligible students identified as having the greatest need for special assistance because they are failing or are at risk of failing to meet state academic standards.
