Extra Academic Help for Students

Schools in Need of Improvement:

Title I schools that fail to make Adequate Yearly Progress for 2 consecutive years will offer “supplemental services,” or tutoring.  There is no cost to parents of eligible students for the extra help, schools may not hire their own staff to be a supplemental service provider (although schools can become certified to be supplemental service providers), and parents can choose the supplemental service provider in their area from among the state approved list.  This list can be found on the Indiana Department of Education’s website:

Title I Schools:

Title I schools are schools that receive federal funds, filtered through the state, because of the numbers of their students who receive free or reduced lunch.  These extra funds have been designated to assist with increasing student achievement.  School districts receiving $500,000 or more must use 1% of those funds for parent involvement.  Most of that 1% has to be targeted for school-based partnership programs. 

*Typically, elementary schools receive a Title I designation.  Sometimes, however, middle/junior highs and high schools are also Title I schools.  To find out if your child’s school is a Title I school in need of improvement, visit: http://www.doe.state.in.us/TitleI/pdf/titleI_schools.pdf
