♦ The degree major of the teacher and any other graduate certification or degree held by the teacher and the field of discipline of the certification or degree; and

♦ Whether the child is provided services by paraprofessionals and if so their qualifications. Additional Information – A school that receives Title I funds must provide to each individual parent –

♦ Information on the level of achievement the child has made on all state assessments; and

♦ Timely notice that the parent’s child has been assigned or taught for 4 or more consecutive weeks by a teacher who is not highly qualified.

Title I, Part A (Title I) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended (ESEA) provides financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools with high numbers or high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards. Federal funds are currently allocated through four statutory formulas that are based primarily on census poverty estimates and the cost of education in each state.
