According to the U.S. Department of education the purpose of Title I program is to ensure all students have a fair and equal opportunity to receive a high quality education.

Title I is a program that allocates funds to school wide programs to be able to upgrade the entire educational program of a school that serves a student body made up of more than 40% of students from low-income families.

Title I was one of five titles introduced in Congress on January 12, 1965 and was passed by Congress on April 9, 1965. President Lyndon Johnson signed it in front of  a one room school house on his ranch on April 12, 1965. (Center for American Progress)

Lee Middle school had increased communication through several outlets: swift K12, Twitter, Instagram, E-News, REMIND. An active staff for safety has also been key in this improvement.

The PTO has played an important role in connecting the school and community, working together to provide opportunities and support to our students and staff. They have offered movie night, Incentive days, family feast, and family game night just to name a few.

REMIND has been a great tool for communication but as a campus, we have outgrown it. We are piloting swift K12 as a communication system for our families and staff. It seems to be working well.

Lee has made an effort to increase our social media posts on Twitter and Instagram and on the LEE PTO page.

E-News (a newsletter via email) is very effective in communicating announcements and ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
The Effective Schools Framework is to provide a clear vision of what schools do to ensure an excellent education for all Texas Students. (texasesf.org)

Lever 1: Strong School Leadership and Planning

Effective campus instructional leaders with clear roles and responsibilities develop, implement, and monitor focused improvement plans that address the causes of low performance.

Lever 2: Effective, Well-Supported Teachers

Campus Leadership retains effective, well supported teachers by strategically recruiting, selecting, assigning and building the capacity of teachers so that all students have access to high-quality educators.

Lever 3: Positive School Culture

Positive school culture requires compelling and aligned vision, mission and goals and values, explicit behavioral expectations and management system, proactive and responsive student support services, and involved families and community.

Lever 4: High-Quality Curriculum

All students have access to a TEKS-aligned, guaranteed and viable curriculum, assessments, and resources to engage in learning at appropriate levels of rigor.

Lever 5: Effective Instruction

All students have rigorous learning experiences because the school ensures objective-driven daily lessons, classroom routines, and formative assessments that yield the data necessary for teachers to reflect, adjust, and deliver instruction that meet the needs of each student.
