Glenbard East High School receives Title I funding to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging State academic standards and State academic assessments.
The Title I program that Glenbard East operates is called a Targeted Assistance Program
Title I, Part A, funds in a targeted assistance (TA) school are used in the following ways:
-To provide services to eligible children identified by the school as most at risk of failing to meet the state's academic content standards
- To supplement the services that would be provided by nonfederal sources, in the absence of the Title I, Part A funds
- To support methods and instructional strategies that are proven to be effective and that strengthen the core curriculum
Records must be maintained to document that Title I, Part A funds are spent only on activities and services for eligible students.
Components of Title I federal legislation
Parental Involvement
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 mandates specific activities by districts and schools to involve parents in the educational process of their children. Throughout the law, there are references to parents’ rights and responsibilities, as well as requirements of schools and districts. These mandates include:
- A district Title I parent involvement policy that outlines how districts will more meaningfully engage parents AND meet the requirements of the law link to Parental Involvement Policy
- A school Title I parent involvement policy, which includes a school-parent compact that is developed jointly with parents link to Compact
- Timely notification to parents regarding school choice, supplemental services, and teacher qualifications
Supplemental Educational Services
Supplemental Educational Services (SES) are extra academic services, such as tutoring and improvement of skills in the areas of math, reading, language arts, and science. These services are offered outside of the regular school hours free of cost to qualifying low-income students attending Title I schools. Title I schools who do not meet state target goals for two or more years in the same subject must offer supplemental academic services using Title I funds.

Public School Choice
Under the Federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), if a Title I school does not make adequate yearly progress (AYP) for two years in a row, it is said to be “in need of improvement,” and it must offer parents public school choice. Implementing this NCLB requirement depends on the availability of other schools in the district that are making AYP and their capacity to add students to their enrollment. This option is available to Glenbard East families only and is offered prior to the start of the school year. Glenbard East families will be notified by mail from the district. Title I Public School Choice is not connected with Glenbard High School District's open enrollment option.
