16 Great Schools. 1 Strong Community.
Title 1 Schools
The Title I program is a funding resource provided by the federal government to help kids in poverty. States receive funding from the federal government and then send the funds to local school districts. Districts earmark money for individual schools with high poverty rates to improve their students' academics and close achievement gaps.
Federal funds don’t replace local and state dollars, but are added to local money dedicated to the schools. BSD schools use a schoolwide model where funds can be used across the entire school's population to improve achievement. Many types of activities can be paid for with Title I dollars. They just need to support learning and be allowed within the schoolwide program.
Our Title I schools are Carrcroft, Claymont, Harlan, Maple Lane, and Mount Pleasant Elementary Schools, P.S. duPont and Talley Middle Schools.

Parent Involvement
Research shows that families have a major influence on their child's achievement in school. When schools, families, and community groups work together to support learning, children tend to do better. They tend to stay in school longer and like school more. Involved parents mean more successful students.
Title 1 legislation agrees. The legislation calls for open communication between schools and parents and provides extra school choice and education services for eligible kids. Schools develop parental involvement plans that are flexible. The plans consider local issues and parent’s ability to help their kids.
In BSD, Parent Involvement Policies are reviewed annually. Each Title 1 school writes its own School/Parent Contract.
