Title I Schools & Programs
SPPS Title I Schools
-
In Saint Paul, to be designated as a Title I school, a school must have a concentration percentage of free and reduced lunch eligible students of 40% or more based on the previous year's October 1 Count. Concentration is calculated by assigning .5 per eligible student for reduced priced lunches and 1.0 per eligible student for free lunch. That total is divided by the total number of students enrolled in the school on October 1st (.5*R + 1.0*F)/total enrollment.
Most schools in Saint Paul use Title I funding in a schoolwide model. In a schoolwide model, the school uses the Title I funding across the whole school, supporting and supplementing state and local funds to improve the education of historically disadvantaged students. Title I funding must always supplement and never supplant the regular education program at a school.
A percentage of the Title I funds at a school are used to support parents in their involvement of their children's education. Schools provide opportunities for parents to learn how to support their children in their school work, to be involved at the school through volunteering and decision making opportunities and they assist parents by removing barriers to being involved.

Non Public Programs
-
Under the Elementary Secondary Education Act (ESEA) school districts are required to provide eligible children attending private elementary and secondary schools, their teachers and their families with services or other benefits that are equitable to those provided to eligible public school children, their teachers, and their families. Services, not money, are provided by St. Paul Public Schools to eligible students, their families, and staff at the nonpublic school sites.
SPPS provides services in three areas under ESEA:
-
Title I, Part A
These services are designed to meet the educational needs and supplement the educational services provided by the private school. The Title I program provides supplemental education services so that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education. Generally, to qualify for assistance under Title I, a student must reside within the attendance area of a participating public school located in a low-income area and be failing, or at risk of failing, to meet student academic achievement standards.The SPPS Title I department provides services to 13 nonpublic schools with an eligible population of approximately 650 children. Currently, a staff of highly qualified public school teachers and teacher assistants provide on-site tutoring to eligible students with the greatest educational needs.
-
Title II, Part A
These are professional development services that supplement professional development provided to private school teachers, principals, and other educational personnel at the private school. The law requires that all uses of Title II, Part A funds supplement non-federal funds (i.e., private school funds) that would otherwise be used for activities. Professional development provided with federal funds needs to be in addition to, and not in place of, what the private school would otherwise provide. These services can be provided in the form areas such as training, workshops/conferences, mentoring/coaching, professional learning communities, etc.
-
Title III
These are supplemental language instruction services to teach English to limited English proficient and immigrant students as well as assist them in achieving grade-level and graduation standards. Professional development services can also be provided to private school staff to support them in serving English learners. The SPPS Multilingual Learning (MLL) department oversees Title III at Nonpublic schools.
-
Title IV, Part A
These are supplemental services are designed to improve students’ academic achievement by increasing the capacity to provide all students with access to a well-rounded education, improve school conditions for student learning, and improve the use of technology in order to improve the academic achievement and digital literacy of all students.
-
All of these services are planned and provided through meaningful consultation with private school officials. Together, district personnel and private school officials determine what services best meet the needs of participating children and staff.
All equitable services under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act are secular, neutral, and non-ideological. All goods and materials used for equitable services for private schools are the property of the district.

Targeted Assistance Programs
Non Public schools may use Title I funds to provide services to eligible children identified as having the greatest need for special assistance. Non Public schools are not eligible for schoolwide assistance programs.
Eligible Children
The eligible population for services under this section includes children not older than age 21 who are entitled to a free public education through grade 12 and children who are not yet at a grade level. A uniform selection criterion must be implemented across grades.- Eligible children are children identified by the school as failing, or most at risk of failing, to meet the State's challenging student academic achievement standards on the basis of multiple, educationally related, objective criteria established by the school district and supplemented by the school, except that children from preschool through grade 2 shall be selected solely on the basis of such criteria as teacher judgment, interviews with parents, and developmentally appropriate measures.
- Children included are those children who are economically disadvantaged, children with disabilities, migrant children or limited English proficient children.
- Head Start, Even Start or Early Reading First Children who at any time in the 2 years preceding the year for which the determination is made, participated in one or all of these programs, or in preschool services supported by Title I.
- A child in a local institution for neglected or delinquent children and youth or attending a community day program.
- A child who is homeless and attending any school served by the district.

Evidence: Title I services demonstrate connection to Minnesota’s academic standards.
- Ensure that planning for students served by Title I is incorporated into existing SCIP.
- Use effective methods and instructional strategies that are based on scientifically based research that strengthens the core academic program of the school and gives primary consideration to:
- Providing extended learning time, such as an extended school year, before- and after-school, and summer programs and opportunities; Evidence: The school supports and after school , before school or summer school program to extend learning time for students who are at risk of not making adequate yearly progress.
- Provide an accelerated, high-quality curriculum, including applied learning; Evidence: Provides an enriched and accelerated curriculum to all students.
- Minimize removing children from the regular classroom during regular school hours for instruction provided by Title I. Evidence: Students are being served at times other than during core academic times. The school has considered before and after school and summertime to deliver supplemental help.
- Coordinate with and support the regular education program, which may include services to assist preschool children in the transition from early childhood programs such as Head Start, Even Start, Early Reading First or State-run preschool programs to elementary school programs. Evidence: Implement kindergarten transition activities, team planning meetings with regular classroom teachers.
- Provide instruction by highly qualified teachers. Evidence: Teachers are certified to teach the students they are working with and if not have notified parents that this is the case. By the end of the 2005-2006 school year, all teachers will be highly qualified.
- Provide opportunities for professional development with resources provided by Title I, and from other sources, for teachers, principals, and paraprofessionals. If appropriate, professional development activities may support pupil services, parents and other staff, who work with Title I students or in the regular education program. Evidence: On going professional development focused on areas of need as identified by the SCIP process, which includes, Reader’s and Writer’s Workshop, Every Day Math, Connected Math, focused inquiry, other high school offerings, and other district supported strategies based on scientifically based research.
- Provide strategies to increase parental involvement, such as family literacy. Evidence: A parent involvement plan is developed in consultation with parents, schools belong to the Parent Involvement Network, Parent/Teacher compacts are used for every student served by Title I and are visited and revised on a regular basis, parent events occur periodically throughout the year, students served in the program have a signed permission slip by a parent or guardian, and parents have been informed of the “right-to-know.”
- Each school shall assist Title I students by helping them meet Minnesota’s proficient and advanced levels of achievement by:
- Coordinating resources provided by Title I with other resources. Evidence: Title I resources must supplement, not supplant regular education services that would otherwise be provided to the students.
- Review, on an ongoing basis, the progress of Title I students and revise their educational program, if necessary, to provide additional assistance to Title I students such as:
- Extended school year, before- and after-school, and summer programs and opportunities;
- Training for teachers on how to identify students who need additional assistance, and
- Training for teachers regarding how to implement student academic achievement standards in the classroom.
Integration of Professional Development
To promote the integration of staff supported by Title I into the regular school program and overall school planning and improvement efforts, Title I staff may:- Participate in general professional development and school planning activities.
- Assume limited duties that are assigned to similar personnel who are not paid by Title I funds (including duties beyond classroom instruction or that do not benefit Title I students with similar educational needs where appropriate).
- Each school receiving Title I funds shall devote sufficient resources to carry out professional development activities.
- Eligible children are children identified by the school as failing, or most at risk of failing, to meet the State's challenging student academic achievement standards on the basis of multiple, educationally related, objective criteria established by the school district and supplemented by the school, except that children from preschool through grade 2 shall be selected solely on the basis of such criteria as teacher judgment, interviews with parents, and developmentally appropriate measures.
