Purpose of Title I funds:
Financial assistance to LEA's and schools with high numbers or high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards.
There is a clear correlation between family engagement and student performance, and Congress has sought to capitalize on this relationship by expanding the role of parents in Title I programs. Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), the most recent reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), defines family engagement as parent participation in regular, two-way, meaningful communication involving student academic learning and other school activities, to ensure that:
- Parents understand that they play an integral role in their child's learning.
- Parents are encouraged to be actively involved at school, and
- Parents are full partners in their child's education and are included in decision-making and on advisory committees.
All schools in the Hobbs Municipal School district are Title I schools for the 2022-2023 school year.
