Title I Grant Evaluation 19/20

The federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) has a number of grants designed for educational purposes.

ESSA Title I Part A funds are intended to close the achievement gap for low income “under served” students.  FSDB uses the “school wide” model so any student within a Title I school is eligible for this program. Grant  funds help us to provide:

• Student Enrichment, such as the recent purchase of iPads and iPad applications and accessories for
supplementary academic purposes.
• Professional Development for instructional staff members, such as Summer Institute training
opportunities to keep abreast of recent curricular or topical issues and changes (e.g., the new Florida
Standards).
• Parent Involvement, such as reimbursement monies for parent travel to campus for capacity-building
activities (e.g., Parent Engagement Workshops and parent classes in American Sign Language or braille).
• New clothing and shoes as well as personal books for academic enrichment for our campus homeless
students

2019/2020 Grant Allocation: $156,299

We review this grant at the end of every year.  If you agree with an item please let us know!  Your suggestions are valuable to the grant team.  Many ideas from years past have been implemented and resulted in wonderful new additions, such as our STEAM Camp.  We look forward to seeing what you have to share.
