    What is a Title IA Schoolwide Plan?

    A schoolwide plan provides a detailed outline of why Title I funding is utilized and how funding and academic programs will assist students in achieving academic success.
     
    An effective Title IA schoolwide plan must include the involvement and input of members of the school community in order for plans to be comprehensive and effective.  A planning team composed of parents, teachers, administrators, math and reading coaches, reading specialists, and various educational program coordinators worked together to create the Freedom Area Elementary Schoolwide Plan.
