Description
The Department of Public Instruction (DPI) is no longer providing no-cost support of Title I and other Title programs through Cooperative Educational Service Agencies (CESAs). As a result, CESA 9 has developed Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Support as a Value-Add for all CESA 9 Continuous School Improvement Services member districts.
This Value-Add includes:
-
ESEA Technical Assistance (Title I, II, III, and IV) via email, phone, and Zoom. Regular ESEA-related updates and information for program coordinators and WISEgrant managers.
-
Title I Coordinator Leadership Supports - information and resources through two regional meetings, three one-hour webinars, and one-on-one technical assistance.
-
New Title I Coordinator Orientation for those new to the role of Title I (within the first three years). This includes either one day on-site or Zoom that provides an overview to Title I requirements under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), record keeping, Title I programming, and an ESEA calendar of responsibilities and deadlines.
Additional Support Options: Each fee-for-service option listed begins with an approximated base of 3 days. A service contract will be developed and customized to support individual district needs/goals.
