Title I Schools

  • Schools considered Title I are those in which the identified student percentage (students directly certified) is at least 75% based on Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) guidelines. The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) replaced Free and Reduced Lunch (FRL) as the district's measure of poverty in 2015. All 精东传媒 Title I schools operate under a schoolwide program model. These programs have flexibility in using their Title I funds, in conjunction with other funds in the school, to upgrade the operation of the entire school. Schoolwide programs must conduct a comprehensive needs assessment, identify and commit to specific goals and strategies that address those needs, create a comprehensive plan, and conduct an annual review of the effectiveness of the schoolwide program.


    North Carolina's Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) State Plan identifies two sets of schools for comprehensive support and improvement which occurs every three years. Tier Levels were added in the 2022-23 school year to identify schools that were unable to exit. Tier 1 refers to all schools newly identified in the fall of 2022–23. Tier 2 refers to all schools who were previously identified in 2018–19 and reidentified in the fall of 2022–23. 1) CSI Low-Performing (CSI-LP) schools are those schools whose School Performance Grades are in the bottom five percent of all Title I Served schools. For the 2022–23 identification, using 2021–22 data, 56 new schools were identified (Tier 1) and 27 schools were reidentified (unable to exit, Tier 2). 2) CSI Low Graduation Rate (CSI-LG) schools are any schools with a four-year cohort graduation rate lower than 66.7% regardless of Title I status. For the 2022–23 identification, using 2021–22 data, 20 new schools were identified (Tier 1) and 19 schools were reidentified (unable to exit, Tier 2). CSI-LG schools are eligible to be identified as CSI-LP schools. Schools with a CSI identification receive state-level support from the Office of Federal Programs. Schools on the 2022–23 CSI identified schools list are eligible to exit after 4 years, if they meet the required exit criteria.
