What does Title I mean?

▪ Sandy Springs Charter Middle School participates in the Title I, Part A, Section 1116 of the "Every Student Succeeds Act" (ESSA) School-wide program. ▪ We are provided federal funding to ensure all students have the opportunity and innovative resources, to meet or exceed state, local, and national assessment expectations. ▪ Title I funding impacts every student at SSCMS by reducing class size and funding professional development.

What does Title I include?

▪ Title I Budget (Title I Funds approx. $350K) ▪ Parent and Family Engagement Plan ▪ School-Family Compact ▪ Parent Resource Center ▪ Parent University Workshops ▪ Building Parent and Staff Capacity ▪ Spring Input Meeting for all Stakeholders

Title I Budget

Who do Title I funds benefit? How do we spend Title I funds?

• Title I funds are spent on teachers, instructional coaches, additional teachers,

professional development, training and technology resources (i.e. technology subscriptions).

• Every student at SSCMS benefits from Title I funding, resources and our School-

wide Plan.

• All families are welcome to use the resources in our Parent Resource Center and

attend our Parent University Workshops. There is a 1% set-aside budget to be used for Family Engagement. Families are invited to give input at the Annual Spring Stakeholder Input Meeting.

How may we use Title I funding to impact all students?
