What is Title I?

Title I is a federal program that provides additional funding to schools that serve students who may need extra academic support. These funds help us strengthen learning for all students by offering more instruction, resources, and family engagement opportunities.

At Ketterer Charter School, Title I helps us create a stronger, more supportive learning environment so students can grow in confidence, build essential skills, and stay on track for success.

Your Rights as a Parent

Under Title I, parents and guardians have important rights. You may:

1. Request Information About Your Child’s Teachers
You can ask whether your child’s teachers are state-certified and learn about their qualifications.

2. Receive Regular Updates on Your Child’s Progress
We will share information about academic performance, assessments, and interventions.

3. Participate in Family Engagement Activities
We offer opportunities for parents to be involved in school events, learning activities, and discussions about student progress.

4. Help Shape Our Title I Program
Families are invited to review the Title I plan, parent involvement policies, and compact each year.

School-Parent Compact

As part of the Title I program’s federally required documentation, all Title I families will be asked to sign the parent/guardian/student compact. The compact is a promise that the school, the parents/guardians and the student will all work toward helping their child become a better student.
