Title I
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESEA), is designed to provide funding to schools based on the percentage of students from low-income households. Title I funds are used to support all Bloomington District 87 schools.
Title funds are used to hire academic interventionists, kindergarten paraprofessionals (in identified schools), and family facilitators. A portion of TItle funds are set aside to provide quality professional development for staff and to provide school supplies for homeless, delinquent, and neglected students.
For more information on Title I, please contact Dr. Nicole Rummel, Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning, at rummeln@district87.org.
