Covers the overall school, just like the icing on the cake. View your basic local/state funds are the sheet cake (it is the foundation), then you add the icing (title one funds) to make the cake even better.
WISD took a 10% cut in title funding this year. We will be doing more with less – most campuses will do without the 45 day tutors at this point based on funding.
Services all students.Keep logs of students to document services provided by title employees/tutors and allows a campus then to evaluate the effectiveness of the program/person based on the student performance on state assessments.
Any campus with over 75% low SES must receive a per student allotment of the title funds that is greater than those campuses below the 75%. JES and RRE will receive extra services this year due to their percent of low SES students.

Funds used to assist in recruiting in HR and embedded prof dev with the content coordinators.Lucky to still have the DATE funds for the fall semester to prof dev.
