Title I

Title I, which was first enacted in 1965, is the federal government’s primary aid program for disadvantaged students.

At PVSchools, we value the active participation of parents and all family members. We believe that every child can succeed academically and we are committed to working with students and parents to ensure success. We encourage you to partner with us. The following information and documents are provided to keep parents informed.

Teacher Qualifications for Title I Schools

Under federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) provisions, all school districts are required to notify parents of children who attend a Title I school that they have the right to request and receive timely information on the professional qualifications of their children’s classroom teachers. Specifically, upon request, districts must provide the following information:

• Whether the teacher has met state qualifying and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher is teaching;
• Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status;
• The baccalaureate degree major of the teacher and any other graduate certification or degree held by the teacher, including the field of discipline of the certification or degree;
• Whether the child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications.

Definition of Parent Involvement

We value parent involvement in student education and in our schools and programs. We encourage all parents to join us in helping all students achieve. Please contact our Title I Programs staff members for more information.
