Title I
Title I funds are used to provide academic support and learning opportunities to help low-achieving children master challenging curricula and meet state standards in core academic subjects. For example, funds support extra instruction in reading and mathematics, as well as preschool, supplemental communication arts, and other programs designed to extend and reinforce the regular school curriculum.

The Chadwick R-I School District Title I program operates as a School Wide program Pre-K to Grade12. This allows the school district to use Title I funds to support the overall academic programs of the school district. Specific funds are used to support the Title I Reading program in elementary, a supplemental communication arts program in the high school, and a Title I Pre-School program. Additional funding is used to support classroom resources.
The School Wide Title I program promotes student academic success through a joint partnership called a parent compact. This compact is an agreement between all parties stating that each will do his/her part to help his/her child to succeed in school, specifically in the area of reading.

Districts must withdraw a student from any program activity supported with Title IV.A funds upon written request from the parents or legal guardians of students. Drug and violence prevention programs must convey a clear and consistent message that the illegal use of drugs and acts of violence are wrong and harmful.
