Title I provides federal dollars for supplemental educational opportunities for disadvantaged children who are most at risk of failing to meet the State's challenging content and performance standards. Title I gives districts the opportunity to create two types of school-based programs: Targeted Assistance and Schoolwide.
- A Targeted Assistance program is one in which individual students in a school are targeted to receive Title I services. Students are identified based upon multiple, educationally related objective criteria. Services may be delivered in a number of ways. Title I teachers in Targeted Assistance schools are responsible for providing these services, coordinating with other school personnel as needed, and involving parents in the planning, implementation and evaluation of the Title I program.
North Reading Public Schools is currently funded for math targeted assistance programs at the Hood, Little and Middle School as well as ELA targeted assistance at the Middle School

Parent Information
Notification to Parent's of Teacher Qualifications
The Federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 requires school districts that receive federal Title I funding to notify parents of their right to know the professional qualifications of the classroom teachers who instruct their child.
As a recipient of these funds, North Reading Public Schools will provide you with this information in a timely manner if you request it. Specifically, you have the right to request the following information about each of your child's classroom teachers:
- Whether the teacher meets the state qualifications and licensing criteria for the grades and subjects he or she teaches.
- Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or provisional status because of special circumstances.
- The teacher's college major, whether the teacher has any advanced degrees, and the field of discipline of the certification or degree.
- Whether paraprofessionals provide services to your child and, if so, their qualifications.
North Reading Public Schools is committed to providing quality instruction for all students and does so by employing the most qualified individuals to teach and support each student in the classroom. If you would like to receive any of the information listed above for you child's teacher, please contact Patrick Daly pdaly@north-reading.k12.ma.us
