Title 1, Part A Program Annual Update - School Year 2024-25

Northshore School District's Crystal Springs, Kenmore, Woodin & Woodmoor Elementary Schools, and Northshore Early Learning Receive Title 1 Funds.

What is Title 1, Part A?

The federal “Elementary and Secondary Act” (ESEA) – enacted in 1965 – is the nation’s national education law. ESEA authorizes several state-run programs for eligible schools and districts. The “Every Student Succeeds Act” (ESSA) – passed by Congress in 2015 – works to address performance gaps between student groups in schools.

Title I, Part A is a federal program designed to ensure that all students receive a quality education. The program aims to guarantee that every student has an equitable opportunity to learn and to close the achievement gap in student performance. Title I programs and services offer additional support for students who need extra assistance. They also help students meet the state's high learning standards. This information is intended to help you understand this law and its impact on your student.

Please share your questions and ideas!

Thank you for your feedback and for taking part in our programs! Each school has already contacted or will soon contact families to share important information. This includes the Title I notification, Parent Engagement Plan and Policy, School/Parent/Student Compact, and Annual Meeting notice. Attending a school's annual meeting or Title I events is a great way to learn more, get your questions answered, and share your ideas. Your input helps us make our programs even better!

You can help in your student’s success!
