Introduction

Due to the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), most commonly known as ESSA, certain components are required to be included in planning for schoolwide programs and in the writing of a schoolwide plan. By completing the provided template, schools will develop a plan which will meet the new requirements.

Plan Development & Stakeholder Involvement

The plan shall be developed or revised with the involvement of:

  • Parents
  • Other members of the community to be served
  • Individuals who carry out the plan including teachers, principals, other school leaders, administrators, paraprofessionals present in the school

The plan shall be available to the LEA, parents, and the public; information in the plan should be in an understandable and uniform format and provided in a language that parents can understand.

If appropriate and applicable, the plan shall be developed in coordination and integration with other federal, state, and local services, resources, and programs, such as programs supported under ESSA, violence prevention programs, nutrition programs, housing programs, Head Start programs, adult education programs, career and technical education programs, and schools implementing comprehensive support and improvement activities or targeted support and improvement activities under section 1111(d).

The narrative sections in the template must be completed in sufficient detail to document how the component has been thoroughly and thoughtfully addressed. Schools must annually review the plan and revise, as necessary, based on student needs and the results of the evaluation to ensure continuous improvement (ESEA section 1114(b)(3); 34 C.F.R. § 200.26(c)).

The budget implication sections must be sufficient in detail to show how Title I funds support the schoolwide program and provide students with a well-rounded education.
