I want to respond to immediately to Title I question. The district had been talking about the TItle I cut since early February. It was discussed at principals meetings and mentioned at the Board meeting in March when we presented the budget plan. At the time thought we were only get to reach schools with 70% poverty or more.
I am not sure why principals did not share this information with their school communities -- some did, I know, others did not.
Also, the district does NOT get to decide who is and who is not eligible for Title I dollars. There is a process set by the state and federal legislation. Although the district did receive fewer dollars, the larger factor in the cuts to schools was/is the percentage of set aside mandated by the federal government for supplemental services.
