Federal Programs

Title I: Every Students Succeeds Act

Title I

Title I funds are used to provide additional academic support and learning opportunities to help low-achieving children master challenging curricula and meet state standards in core academic subjects. For example, funds support extra instruction in reading, as well as special preschool, after-school, and summer programs to extend and reinforce the regular school curriculum.

Title I Family Engagement

What is family engagement under Elementary and Secondary Education Act?

Parental involvement always has been a centerpiece of Title I. However, for the first time in the history of the ESEA, it has a specific statutory definition. The statute defines parental involvement as the participation of parents in regular, two-way, and meaningful communication involving student academic learning and other school activities, including ensuring:

that parents play an integral role in assisting their child's learning;
that parents are encouraged to be actively involved in their child's education at school;
that parents are full partners in their child's education and are included, as appropriate, in decision-making and on advisory committees to assist in the education of their child; and
that other activities are carried out, such as those described in section 1118 of the ESEA (Parental Involvement ).

What does the research show about how family involvement in children's education affects student achievement? Studies have found that students with involved parents, no matter what their income or background, are more likely to-

Earn high grades and test scores, and enroll in higher-level programs;
Pass their classes, earn credits, and be promoted;
Attend school regularly; and
Graduate and go on to postsecondary education.

Title I Funded ChurchillCSD Schools

Churchill County School District currently has four Title I schools that are being served:

Lahontan Elementary School

Private Schools

Under Title I, School Districts are required to provide services for eligible private school students, as well as eligible public school students. In particular, section 1120 of Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) requires a participating School District to provide eligible children attending private elementary and secondary schools, their teachers, and their families with Title I services or other benefits that are equitable to those provided to eligible public school children, their teachers, and their families. These services must be developed in consultation with officials of the private schools. The Title I services provided by the School District for private school participants are designed to meet their educational needs and supplement the educational services provided by the private school. For additional information on services to eligible private school children, see the U.S. Department of Education Office of Non-Public Education website . Churchill County has three non-profit private school, Seventh Day Adventist School, Rock of Ages Baptist Academy and Logos Christian Academy. Logos Christian Academy has participated in the consultation process with Federal Programs and have opted to not participate in Title I services.

Migrant Education

McKinney-Vento: Students in Transition (SIT)

Definition of Homeless:

An individual who lacks a fixed, regular, adequate (with electricity and plumbing) nighttime residence;
An individual who has primary nighttime residence in a supervised, publicly or privately operated shelter for temporary accommodations (including welfare hotels, congregate shelters, and transitional housing for the mentally ill)
An individual who sleeps in a public or private place not designated for, or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings (e.g. cars, parks, motels)
Children living with a parent in a domestic violence shelter
An individual who is, out of necessity, living with relatives or friends due to lack of housing
Run-away children (under 18 years of age) and children and youths who have been abandoned or forced out of the home by parents or other caretakers, or such youth (between 18 and 20 years of age) who may still be eligible for educational services who:
- Temporarily reside in shelters awaiting assistance from social services agencies
- Live alone on the street or move from place to place between family members, friends or acquaintances.
- Children of migrant families who lack adequate housing

The Churchill County School District provides homeless children with the opportunity to achieve the same high-quality academic standards by eliminating barriers to their education.

The District Homeless Liaison with the Students in Transition program works closely with site liaisons (school counselor) at every school in the district to identify over 100 children yearly. Children living in motels, homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters, doubled up, or unaccompanied youth can receive assistance to remove barriers to school enrollment including transportation to the school of origin, assistance obtaining school records, birth certificate, and immunization records. Adequate basic needs of food, shelter, and clothing for homeless children are a concern for the Churchill County School District. The SIT program collaborates with our community through generous
donations to provide the children with backpacks, school supplies, personal care items, shoes, clothing, and food. Enrichment activities such as field trips, sports, and musical instruments can be requested through the SIT program to help normalize the academic life of the homeless child.

Impact Aid

What is Federal Impact Aid?

Impact Aid programs and grants are designed to assist local school districts that enroll federally connected students.

The federal presence in our area and the significant tax exemptions available to federally connected personnel, businesses, and agencies has permitted Churchill County School District (ChurchillCSD) to be eligible for federal Impact Aid grants.

Impact Aid programs and grants are designed to assist local school districts that enroll federally connected students. The grants from these programs will become a part of ChurchillCSD's general operating budget and are critical to ensuring that all children in FCPS receive an excellent education. FCPS anticipates receiving about $300,000 annually in Impact Aid funds.

Please complete, sign, date, and return/submit one survey per household, including all children on the form, to your child's school by October 30.
