Title 1

• Title 1 refers to federal funding that our school receives under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).

• A school's Title 1 eligibility is solely determined by the percentage of students in the school who qualify for free or reduced lunch. When 40% or more of the student population qualify for free or reduced lunch, the school is eligible to receive Title 1 funding.
  • RES is currently at 41% free or reduced lunch. In order to keep funds, we need all eligible families to complete the free or reduced lunch application. Please pick up a free or reduced lunch application form from Mrs. Harrison or apply online at Bartlett City Schools- free or reduced lunch application

• The money can only be spent with input from stakeholders (parents, teachers, and community). Title 1 money may be spent in five categories:
