TITLE I

Title I

Funds are used to support Title I

Programs in:

Beebe Early Childhood

Beebe Elementary

District/Pre-K

Title I

These funds provide supplemental services to

improve student achievement in pre-kindergarten through grade 4. Students who are in need of

extra help to reach grade level academic

standards are provided assistance by federally

funded, highly qualified teachers and highly

qualified instructional assistants. Title I funds also

provide additional professional development and

professional materials for teachers, student

materials and supplies, technology hardware and software for students and teachers, tutoring,

parent involvement activities and materials, and

assistance to homeless students.

Title I

Five percent (5%) of the total Title I budget has been set aside to meet the requirement for professional development activities.

Funds were set aside for student welfare (homeless students) as required by Title I guidelines.

Districts that receive over $500,000.00 in Title I allocations must designate 1% for parent involvement activities. Of this year’s allocation ($623,479.90) 95% of the 1% must be placed in the building budgets. The district exceeded the required set aside amount placing nearly 2% in parent involvement.

Title II-A Funds may be used district-wide. Funds provide training to

assist teachers and administrators in becoming highly

qualified, or to provide supplemental training opportunities to

further enhance instructional practices.

Teachers and administrators are encouraged to pursue

college coursework toward advanced degrees. In return,

employees receive tuition reimbursement from Title II-A funds

up to 10 successfully completed courses.

Title II-A

A district literacy specialist assists K-12 staff with continuous and current literacy curriculum training throughout the school year and during the summer.

Title II-A funds are also used to recruit teachers for our district, especially in high-need areas where there are a limited numbers of applicants.

Title VI - State

Funds are used to address the

educational needs of low performing

students. Instructional assistants

provide support for students below

grade level and offer the use of

technology as an instructional strategy

for addressing their needs. Funds will

also be used to provide student

materials.
