What is Title I?
Title I is a program funded by the federal government to improve students' academic achievement. Title I funds are used to expand and supplement the services children already receive in the classroom. Administration, teachers and parents decide how to use these funds. The amount provided for each school depends on the number of low-income families enrolled in the school.
How can I, as a parent, help?
There are many ways parents can be involved in their child's education. Parents are encouraged to participate on our School Advisory Council (SAC). This group meets several time a year to determine how Title I funds will be used for the school year.
Sura ya Kwanza ni nini? Title I ni mpango unaofadhiliwa na serikali ya shirikisho ili kuboresha mafanikio ya kitaaluma ya wanafunzi. Fedha za Kichwa cha I hutumiwa kupanua na kuongeza huduma ambazo watoto tayari hupokea darasani. Utawala, walimu na wazazi huamua jinsi ya kutumia fedha hizi. Kiasi kilichotolewa kwa kila shule inategemea idadi ya familia za kipato cha chini zilizoandikishwa katika shule hiyo. Mimi kama mzazi nawezaje kusaidia? Kuna njia nyingi ambazo wazazi wanaweza kuhusika katika elimu ya mtoto wao. Wazazi wanahimizwa kushiriki katika Halmashauri yetu ya Ushauri ya Shule (SAC). Kikundi hiki hukutana mara kadhaa kwa mwaka ili kuamua jinsi fedha za Kichwa I zitakavyotumiwa kwa mwaka wa shule.
