- Title I
-
Boulder Creek Elementary is a "School Wide Title I School". School Wide is awarded to schools that have over 40% of their students on Free and Reduced Lunch during the 2016-17 school year. We receive extra funding to provide additional services to children that demonstrate academic or social needs. Each student at Boulder Creek is assessed using AzMERIT, DIBELS assessments, Galileo (ATI) Assessments and teacher recommendation to identify those students who would benefit from supplemental service. All teachers and paraprofessional assistants at Boulder Creek are highly qualified.
Title I Information
-
Title I funds currently provide additional reading, math and social/emotional support to those students with the greatest need in 9 of our Gilbert schools.
Title I is a federally funded program included in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which supplements regular classroom instruction by providing support for students who are at risk of not meeting state academic standards. The purpose of Title I Part A - Improving the Academic Achievement of the Disadvantaged, is to provide a fair, equitable, and high-quality education to all children.
Schools meet criteria based on total student enrollment and the number of students qualifying for free and reduced lunch. Schools between 35%-40% F & R are eligible to participate in a Targeted Assistance Title I Program. Schools above 40% F & R qualify for a Schoolwide Title I Program.

GPS Title I Family and Community Engagement
-
A key component of an effective Title I School Program is increasing Parent and Community Engagement in the education of children. Research has shown that students who have the support of their families are more successful in school and ultimately more prepared for college and career upon graduation. Families are encouraged to participate in school activities, share their ideas and attend Title I meetings.
