Schoolwide ESSA Workshop

Recent changes to ESSA now state that schools do not need to be below the 40% poverty level to become a schoolwide Title school. Schoolwide programs have great latitude to determine how to organize their operations and allocate the multiple funding sources available to them. They do not have to identify particular children as eligible for services or seperately track federal dollars. Instead, schoolwide programs can use all allocated funds to increase the amount and quality of learning time. In this way, they can embrace the state's challenging academic standards. 

Schoolwide programs serve all children in a school. All staff, resources and classes are part of the overall schoolwide program. The purpose is to generate high levels of academic achievement in core subject areas for all students, especially those students most in need.

This half day worshop will provide participants: 
     - An overview and understanding of what it means to be a Schoolwide Title I school
     - A step-by-step procedure for preparing to apply for a Schoolwide Title I program
     - A framework for completing a comprehensive needs assessment
     - A process for writing a comprehensive schoolwide plan that describes how they will achieve the goals
       identified as a result of their needs assessment
     - Support during your initial planning with the CESA Title Team
