[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't have kids in school yet, how can you find out if/when a school loses its Title I funding?  I am worried about that with our neighborhood school (which otherwise I hear good things about).[/quote]

I've found that it's difficult to get clear information on this because the county has some latitude in how they apply their Title I funding.  Some school districts choose to spend more of the money on fewer schools.  It was my understanding that MoCo had lower criteria in past years than the average school district.  So, for example, I believe that at one point if your school was 40% FARMS it was receiving some Title I money, while nationally many schools were not Title I unless they had a much higher FARMS rate.  MCPS has been raising the FARMS level for qualifying as a Title I school.  I would go to the school's next PTA meeting and ask the principal for specifics.  I'm not sure when the final decisions are made for next school year, but it should happen before the end of the current year.
