Title I

Winter Springs Elementary is a Title One public school that serves K-5 students. The school is centrally located in Seminole County, in the city of Winter Springs.

What is Title 1?

Title I, Part A of the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 was originally written to improve educational opportunities for low-income students. The current re-authorization of the law, the Every Student Succeeds Act, provides supplemental resources so that all students, especially those who are struggling academically, receive the supports needed to successfully learn grade-level skills.

Both federal and state laws govern eligibility to receive Title I funding and specify how the funds are allocated to eligible schools and programs.  Eligible schools receive differing levels of Title I support based on the percentage of economically disadvantaged students at the school. In the 2025-2026 school year, 15 elementary schools, five middle schools, three special centers, one charter school, and 14 non-public schools in Seminole County will receive supplemental resources through Title I, Part A.

What is the "Parents' Right to Know"?

Districts that receive Title I funds must provide to parents of each child attending a Title I school:

  • Information about their child’s level of academic achievement and growth as measured by state assessments
  • Timely notification when their child is taught for 4 or more consecutive weeks by a teacher who has not met state certification or licensure requirements at the grade level and subject area in which the teacher has been assigned
  • Information on assessments required by the state or district, including subject/purpose of each assessment, source of the requirement, and where possible, the time needed to complete the assessment and when/how results will be made available to parents
  • Information about state and district policies pertaining to participating in required assessments

Parents of students attending a Title I school may request to know:

  • Whether their child’s teacher meets certification requirements for the grade and subject area they teach; the degree/major of the teacher, and if the teacher is teaching under a provisional status
  • If their child receives services from a paraprofessional and if so, the paraprofessional’s qualifications
