Title I

Title I is a federally funded program providing additional educational services to students identified as at risk of failing or not meeting the state’s academic standards. The purpose of Title I is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education. Funding for Title 1 is based on the number of students who qualify for free and reduced lunch program.

Parent Involvement

Parent involvement is a critical part of every child's education. Albert Lea Area Schools actively promotes the participation of parents of Title 1 children in a wide variety of opportunities.  Albert Lea Area Schools Title 1 Parent Involvement Plan developed by the Title I Committee consisting of parents, staff, and administrators describes how we promote participation.  If you would be interested in serving on this committee, please contact Mary Jo Dorman (Mary.Dorman@alschools.org). We are continually looking for new voices to help mold our Title I and Title II programming.
