EMERY COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT TITLE I PROGRAM

Title I is a federal education program under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965, reauthorized as Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015. Title I, Part A provides Utah with federal funds each year to help higher poverty schools strengthen educational services for disadvantaged students. Six elementary schools and one high school in Emery County School District receive funding through Title I.

Title I Goals

Provide extra instructional services and activities which support students identified as failing, or most at risk of failing, the state’s performance standards in math, reading, and writing.

Increase student performance in high poverty schools within our district

Build teacher capacity through quality professional development

Help students achieve academic success

Enhance parents’ ability to help their children succeed. School, teacher and student progress are measured using the RISE Assessment in language arts, math, and writing as well as Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) assessments/benchmarks. Students who are not yet proficient are expected to improve their achievement with additional support provided by Title I.
