2 Purpose of Title I The purpose of Title I is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging State academic achievement standards and state academic assessments. Statement of Purpose from currently authorized Elementary and Secondary Education Act (2001) Title Grants Division 2

8 TALK TIME! Scenario #1 Background Information Ace School District has a district-wide initiative to institute Professional Learning Communities (PLC) in all 3 of its targeted assistance buildings. Total Title I Allocation: $300,000 The Title I coordinator finds a PLC workshop presented by Rick and Rebecca DuFour, the leading experts on PLC s in Seattle, WA.

The Superintendent purchases all administrators a copy of DuFour and DuFour s book and takes them through a book study that can be used in each of the buildings. Title Grants Division 8

9 When Does Supplanting Occur? The OMB A-133 Compliance Supplement details three general situations where an auditor will presume that the use of federal funds violates the supplement, not supplant requirement. Required by law Supported last year with state and/or local funds Provided to everyone (including building not funded by Title I) Title Grants Division 9

10 Overcoming Presumptions of Supplanting A presumption of supplanting can be overcome by providing written documentation proving: State and local funding were significantly reduced. The position would have been eliminated in the absence of NCLB funds. The grant allows the expenses. Funding decisions are made on an annual basis. Title Grants Division 10

11 TALK TIME!

14 TALK TIME! Scenario #4 Schoolwide: Do you have to provide pull-out instruction if your school is schoolwide? Can a school provide benefits to students who are not struggling? Happy Elementary School wants to use their Title I funds to purchase items that would help to improve attendance, behavior. Can they use their Title I funds to make the purchases? Title Grants Division 14

15 Schoolwide Flexibility ISBE is introducing the option of consolidation of funds to increase the flexibility in use of these funds to support comprehensive reform work as described d in the Title I, Part A schoolwide program plan. More information: Title Grants Division 15

16 Schoolwide Flexibility Schoolwide flexibility expenditures are governed by three principles: (1) is the expenditure reasonable and necessary, (2) does it meet the intent and purpose of the law and is aligned with the schoolwide plan, and (3) does the school receive at least as much state and local resources as non-title I schools. Title Grants Division 16
