[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you even know how DCPS calculates Title I status for schools? DCPS uses CEP to determine Title I status. Every school except Ludlow Taylor and Van Ness is above 90% for CEP. Ludlow is at 40% and Van Ness is at 35.5%. [/quote]

Neither VN nor LT are T1 anymore. [/quote]

Ludlow Taylor is still Title I for this current school year. Van Ness was able to qualify to be a Title I targeted assistance school this year.

I didn't realize a school could lose its community eligibility provision eligibility and still be Title I. I had (obviously mistakenly) thought those were the same thing. Can someone explain how a school qualifies for T1 then? Is it just a slightly higher threshhold of the same thing or is it a different metric entirely? [/quote]

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.

Got it, thanks. So per the poster above, L-T is currently at 40% and VN is currently at 35.5%, so it's incredibly likely L-T is about to lose T1 status (and become a targeted assistance program) and VN is about to lose T1 targeted status?[/quote]

Adding to this, there's a lot of displeasure on the Council with how DCPS is allowing (encouraging?) individual schools tp spend funds earmarked for at-risk students. [/quote]
