questions, concerns, and fears about the national landscape regarding immigration. Our mission – and our obligation under the law – is to ensure that our schools are safe spaces for learning, where all students – regardless of immigration status, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, nationality, gender, gender identity, or any other protected classification – are respected and have access to a quality education. Resolution for the Protection of ChildrenThe Salt Lake City School District values and celebrates the incredible diversity of our
students, families, and staff, including our robust refugee and immigrant constituency. We also share the deep concerns of our community about the current treatment of migrants and asylum seekers, especially minors, at the U.S. – Mexico border, and deplore the use of family separation as a tool of immigration policy aimed at deterring people seeking safety. In supporting the social and emotional well-being of all our students, we commit to respect the human rights and civil liberties of all
people, and condemn all hateful speech and violent action directed at any student or individual, including immigrants and people of color. Program Description Title I, Part A (Title I) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESEA) provides financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools with high numbers or high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards. Federal funds are currently allocated through four statutory formulas that are based primarily on census poverty estimates and the cost of education in each state
Once a State's EFIG allocation is determined, funds are provided (using a weighted count formula that is similar to Targeted Grants) to LEAs in which the number of children from low-income families is at least 10 and at least 5 percent of the LEA's school-age population. An LEA’s Title I allocation is the sum of the amount that the LEA receives under each formula. LEAs target the Title I funds they receive to schools with the highest percentages of children from low-income families. If a Title I school is operating a targeted assistance program, the school provides Title I services to children who are failing, or most at risk of failing, to meet challenging State academic standards. Schools in which children from low-income families make up at least 40 percent of enrollment are eligible to use Title I funds to operate schoolwide programs that serve all children in the school in order to raise the achievement of the lowest-achieving students. LEAs also must use Title I funds to provide Title I services to eligible children enrolled in private schools. More information about Title I and other ESEA programs is available at: https://www2.ed.gov/policy/elsec/leg/essa/index.html.
