Fenton High School District 100
Schoolwide Title I Program 2021-2022

Definition of Schoolwide Title I Program

Schoolwide programs are not district-wide and must be planned for and implemented at each individual school building (also known as an attendance center) in the district. Schools with schoolwide programs use Title I funds to implement comprehensive strategies for improving the educational program of the whole school in schools with 40% or more poverty to increase the achievement of all students, particularly students who are failing or most at risk of failing to meet State standards.

How Does a School Qualify for Schoolwide Title I Programming?

Schools must have 40% low income and have completed a year of planning which resulted in a comprehensive schoolwide plan that covers the 10 components required by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Local board approval is required for schoolwide plans and plans are reviewed yearly and revised if needed. Fenton High School was approved as a Schoolwide Title I School in August 2017 by the Fenton High School District 100 Board of Education.

Benefits of a Schoolwide Title I Program

• Flexibility – Schools may combine resources, serve all students, and redesign the school and its services. All students are eligible to use materials and resources.


• Coordination and Integration – Schools will have a reduction in curricular and instructional fragmentation.


• Accountability – School efforts are clear and coordinated; all students are responsible for achieving the same high standards.


• Unified Goals – Schoolwide programs bring parents, the community, and the school together to redesign and improve the school.
