The emphasis is on school level decision making. Therefore, program decisions are now made at the school level. Schools, in consultation with central office, determine how to use their funds that best meet the needs of the students. Title I schools have the opportunity to select one of two delivery services-Targeted Assistance or Schoolwide.
Targeted Assistance schools use Title I funds to assist students that are selected for services to meet performance standards. Each participating school must write a plan. Members of the school staff and parents are involved in the planning process. A comprehensive assessment of the students' needs is used as a major focus of the plan. The plan must:
* Ensuring that the students are provided instructions by a "Highly Qualified" staff
* Providing opportunities for professional development
* Using effective methods and instructional strategies that rely on scientifically based research that strengthens the academic program
* Coordinating with and supporting the regular education program
* Providing strategies to increase parental involvement.
