Title I & Title III
Title I
Title l of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended (ESEA) provides financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools with high number 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.
The focus of Title I schools is to help students achieve proficiency on core standards, closing academic gaps that may exist. These efforts include providing targeted supports to at-risk students, building teachers’ capacity through professional development, and strengthening parents’ abilities in helping their children succeed.
An Introduction to Title I
School-Family Engagement Policy and School-Family Compact
DIA Parent-and-Family-Engagement Policy

Parents who enroll their children in DIA should do so with the understanding that their involvement is crucial to the success of their child’s education and the school. The Parent and Family Engagement Policy describes both parent engagement expectations and DIA’s role in involving parents, providing support for parents, coordinating parent engagement in schools, and evaluating the effectiveness of the policy in improving the academic quality of schools.
