Equivalence of Services Compensatory Education

(Title I)

Pursuant to federal law, school districts receiving Title I funds to provide educational services to students must do so in accordance with Title I of the Every Student Succeeds Act. It is the Board of Education’s intent that Title I funds shall be used efficiently and effectively to benefit the academic opportunities and progress of students in Schoolwide or Targeted Assistance Programs.

Title I funds shall be used to provide educational services that are in addition to supplementing the educational regular services provided for district students with state and local funds. By adoption of this policy, the district Board ensures equivalence among its schools in teachers, administrators, and other staff auxiliary personnel and equivalence in the provision of curriculum materials and instructional supplies.

District personnel shall establish written procedures which include a process to demonstrate that Title I funds are used to provide services in school attendance project areas that are at least comparable to the services provided through state and local funds in attendance areas not receiving Title I funds. Such procedures shall also require the maintenance of and to maintain appropriate records documenting compliance with this policy and the updating of such records on a biennial basis.
