Title I Overview
-
Title I is a federally funded program for economically disadvantaged children who reside in school attendance areas with a high concentration of children from low-income families. Since a high incidence of poverty in a school has a direct correlation with low academic student achievement, the goal of the Title I Program is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and the skills to master the Florida Standards.
The School Board of Broward County (SBBC), Title I, Part A Program supports school efforts in ensuring that all children meet challenging academic standards by providing resources to schools with economically disadvantaged students. Our district operates Title I Schoolwide programs that provide all students with access to services. These resources provide additional teachers, professional development, extra time for teaching, parent engagement activities, and other supplementary instructional activities designed to raise student achievement.

Parents' Right to Know
Annual Notice to Parents/Guardians (Right-to-Know)
Right to Request Teacher/Paraprofessional QualificationsDear Parent/Guardian:
Our school district receives federal funds for Title I programs that are part of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015. One of the conditions for receiving these funds is to notify parents/guardians of their right to request and to receive information regarding the professional qualifications of their child’s teacher and paraprofessionals.
By law, you have the right to ask for the following:
- Whether your child’s teacher has met the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) licensing and qualification criteria for the subject area(s) and grade level(s) in which the teacher provides instruction;
- Whether FLDOE requirements have been waived to allow the teacher to teach under emergency or other provisional status;
- The teacher’s college major and the field of discipline or specialization for any advanced degrees/certifications held by the teacher;
- Whether your child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications; and
- Your child’s level of achievement in each of the state academic assessments.
If you would like to receive any of the above information, please feel free to call your school's Title 1 Coordinator.
Thank you for your continued interest and involvement in your child’s education.
