[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is Title 1 decided?  Does it depend on the percentage of FARMS?  If so, what percentage?[/quote]

http://dcps.dc.gov/TitleI

There are two kinds of Title I programs: Schoolwide and Targeted Assistance.

A school is eligible to become a Title I Schoolwide Program if 40% or more of the students qualify for free or reduced lunch.  Eligible schools are permitted to use Title I, Part A funds in combination with state and local resources and other federal education program funds to upgrade the entire educational program of the school to raise the academic achievement of all students.

A school is eligible to become a Title I Targeted Assistance  Program if between 35-40% of the students qualify for free or reduced lunch.  The term “targeted assistance” means that the services are provided to a select group of children—those identified as failing, or most at risk of failing, rather than for overall school improvement.

I see that Watkins is 41% FARMS.  I remember last year the school was Title 1 Targeted Assistance, but if it now is listing 41%, does that mean it should have been receiving full Title 1 funds all last year, and did not?  Or is this going forward?[/quote]
