Rigler is a Title I school. This is a federal designation based on the number of children from families experiencing poverty enrolled at our school. As such, each year Rigler and other public schools with this designation receive some additional funds. The purpose of Title I funding is to provide all children an opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education.
During our current school year, we used Title I Funds to provide us with:
Title I Funds have also allowed us to provide:
High Impact After- and Before-School Literacy Tutoring
Substitutes and Extended hours for teachers to participate in collaborative professional learning
Extended Responsibilities such as: Test Coordination, Safety Patrol & PLC Leadership
Family Events (such as Día de los Muertos, Black Brilliance, Literacy & Math Nights, Feria)
Last Monday, we received a projected amount of funding for this next year. While it represents a reduction, we are still projected to receive approximately $123,000 as a school.
Ultimately, as Principal of the school, Cinnamon Bancroft will make decisions about how these funds are spent, but family, community partner and staff perspective help inform decisions made.
We spoke about this topic at Site Council and will also offer two drop-in times this week. There will be a table set up under the covered area for families to stop by to ask questions and share perspective.
- Tuesday, March 4th from 2:15-2:40 p.m.
- Thursday, March 6th from 7:45-8:15 a.m.
You are also welcome to share your perspective via this form or send Principal Bancroft an email at cbancrof@pps.net.
