Title 1 is part of the “Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965” signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson, (Education Post, 2019). President Johnson signed this into effect to ensure all children received an education.

Title 1 is a federal program that provides schools with a high numbers of low-income students funds to provide instruction in order to meet student goals, (USLegal.com, 2019).

A school can receive Title 1 funds when over 40% of students qualify as low-income, (Clark, 2019).

The Every Student Succeeds Act was made into law in 2015, replaced the No Child Left Behind Act, and reauthorized the ESEA, (NASSP.org, 2019).

“The CIP must be based on a comprehensive needs assessment (CNA) of the entire school,” ( Title I, Part A Schoolwide Program Campus Improvement Plan, 2019).

A campus needs to look through the student achievement data through from the STAAR test, and any other campus and district initiatives that collect student data.

This will define the campus areas of need.

The CIP planning committee includes principals, parents, community or business member, paraprofessionals, counselors, students if they are in secondary, and teachers. (cite website)

Requirements include, “provide opportunities for all children, including each of the subgroups of students, to meet the challenging State academic standards;” and “address the needs of all students in the school, but particularly the needs of those students at risk of not meeting the challenging State academic standards.” (page 12 and 14, para. 2)

"The term “supplement, not supplant” is a provision common to many federal statutes authorizing education grant programs. There is no single supplement, not supplant provision. Rather, the wording of the provision varies depending on the various statutes. In order to be in compliance with each program’s version of the supplement, not supplant requirements, LEAs must be cognizant of how the provision is applied in each specific program," (Texas Education Agency, Supplement, not supplant handbook, p. 3, para. 3).
This ensures federal grant funds are adequately used by local education agencies for the populations intended, not directed to other areas LEA's cannot provide funding for.
