Title I, Part A

Title I, Part A of the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 was originally written to improve educational opportunities for low-income students. The current re-authorization of the law, the Every Student Succeeds Act, provides supplemental resources so that all students, especially those who are struggling academically, receive the supports needed to successfully learn grade-level skills.

Both federal and state laws govern eligibility to receive Title I funding and specify how the funds are allocated to eligible schools and programs.  Eligible schools receive differing levels of Title I support based on the percentage of economically disadvantaged students at the school. In the 2025-2026 school year, 15 elementary schools, five middle schools, three special centers, one charter school, and 14 non-public schools in Seminole County are receiving supplemental resources through Title I, Part A.

Parents' Rights

All Title I schools are required to employ only state-certified teachers and highly-qualified instructional paraprofessionals. If at any time your child is taught by teacher who is not certified, your school will notify you. In addition, you have the right to:

• Request whether your child's teacher and/or paraprofessional meet the state certification or qualification requirements for the grade levels and subject areas in which they provide instruction.

• Request whether a teacher and/or paraprofessional is teaching under emergency or other provisional status where state qualification or licensing criteria have been waived.

• Request information on the baccalaureate degree major of a teacher and/or paraprofessional and any other graduate certification or degree held by the teacher and/or paraprofessional, and the field of discipline of the certification or degree.

To request any information in this binder or on our webpage be provided to you in your native language, please ask the front office staff or call the school.

Para solicitar cualquier información en esta carpeta o en nuestra página web en su idioma nativo, pregúntele al personal de recepción o llame a la escuela.
