Brookfield Title I Information SY 25/26

Title I is the nation’s largest assistance program for schools. It provides funding to supplement educational opportunities for children who are most at risk and increasing student achievement in schools selected on the basis of the economic level of families. The primary focus is to ensure student access to  provide all children significant opportunities to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education, and to close educational achievement gaps 

The Purpose of Title I is to improve student achievement through:

  • Middle school with 70% or more students eligible for free meals through direct certification.
  • High school with 75% or more students eligible for free meals through direct certification.
• There are 51 FCPS Title I schools (FCPS Title I Schools)

Parents' Rights at a Title 1 School

Brookfield Elementary School is receiving federal Title I grant funds under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015. As part of the federal guidelines for Title I, your child’s school has specific expectations for student performance and teacher qualifications. You can find information on how your child’s school is meeting these expectations by viewing http://schoolquality.virginia.gov/. To access your school’s profile, type the school name in the search field. If you would like a paper copy of this profile, please contact Principal Lesley Hassen.

ESSA allows parents in schools receiving Title I grant funds to ask for information about state and local policies regarding student participation in required tests and about parents’ rights to refuse testing for their children.  Information about required tests at each grade level can be located at https://www.fcps.edu/academics/student-tests-assessments/grade-level-tests. Information about parents’ rights related to testing can be located at https://www.fcps.edu/node/34277. 

Additionally, ESSA allows parents in schools receiving Title I grant funds to ask for certain information about their children’s teachers. Parents may ask for the teacher’s:

• College and graduate school preparation, including degrees and major fields of study for each degree;
• Licensure status, including subject and grade level endorsements, and whether those licenses meet the requirements for teachers of their child’s subject or grade level.

Parents may also ask for information about the qualifications of any instructional assistants who provide services to their children. 

If you would like to receive any of this information about your child’s teacher or instructional assistant, please write to the FCPS Human Resources Licensure Office at the address below. For your request to be fulfilled, you must include: your child’s full name, the name of your child’s school, and the name of the teacher or instructional assistant about whom you would like information.
