I think it is up to the school board how to allocate the Title I money. It is not necessarily used for personnel, but I think it can be.

Incorrect. Please do not post what you "think" as it relates to factual information. Title 1 funds are federal funds. They are allocated from the Fed, to the state who then distributes to the local jurisdictions. There are very strict guidelines for how the money can be used. Schools are allotted a sum of money in the spring and develop a budget. That money can be used to "buy" personnel that "supplements" staffing already in place. The money can also be used for materials and resources as well as professional development. It cannot "supplant" meaning it cannot pay for personnel/supplies/prof dev that all schools already get. For example, all schools get an art teacher. Title 1 funds cannot be used to pay for an art teacher because that is a position that every school gets. But a Title I school could use their funds to pay for a math specialist who would then coach, do professional development, etc. That position is not one that every school has. It's a position in addition to the regular teaching positions at any school.

In another system, in a Title I school, we wrote up a request which was approved to get an additional teacher to reduce class size among Title I kids. [/quote]
