Title I
Title I is a Federal Program that provides financial assistance to local schools to meet current educational needs of all students. The Federal Government provides funding for the Title I Program. The No Child Left Behind Act (NCBL Act) regulates the Title I Program. By 2013-2014, all students will reach high standards, at a minimum attaining proficiency or better in Reading, language Arts, and Mathematics. The Federal Government provides funding to states each year for Title I Program.
The program provides extra help to students who scored in Level I or Level II of the MCAS Tests. These are the students who are the furthest from meeting the standards the state has set for all children. Old Colony Regional Vocational Technical High School is committed to creating innovative and comprehensive educational opportunities for every student, enabling each student to attain his or her highest potential.
Old Colony Regional Vocational Technical High School welcomes the participation of parents in support of student learning and recognizes that parental involvement increases the opportunities for student success. The parent-school compact states the goals and responsibilities of parents, students, and school. It is used as a guideline to get an understanding of the expectations of the student, the parent/guardian and the Title I Staff. This compact is an agreement that all parties will work together to increase the student's understanding of the materials in accordance with the curriculum frameworks. It is the policy of Old Colony Regional Vocational Technical High School to foster and maintain ongoing communications with parents concerning their student's educational progress, the professional qualifications of their student's teachers, and status of the student's school.
