Implementation of a schoolwide program is a school-based decision in consultation with the district.
Schools meet the intent and purposes of the programs included on a schoolwide campus.
In a schoolwide program, Title I, Part A funds are used to supplement the educational program of the entire school. There are no identified eligible students. Instead, a plan comprised of eight essential components is developed and implemented to help insure that all students attain the state student performance standards. Schoolwide programs can use their Title I, Part A funds in the manner they choose, as long as they engage in reform strategies that increase the amount and quality of learning time and help provide a high-quality curriculum for all children, according to a comprehensive plan to help children meet the state's performance standards. Flexibility in the use of funds is tied to increased achievement by children in the target groups that the individual programs are intended to help.
