Documentation will be available to verify that a selection score will be on file before the student is provided with Title I service. If a parent wishes the student not be served by Title I, a signed waiver must be placed in the student's file.

New students entering in the above grades will be ranked using the testing information received from the previous school and by teacher referral. Multi-criteria selection will also be used. These students will be on the waiting list and served according to rank as openings occur.

Students on the waiting list in Grades 1-8 will be taken as openings occur and reconsidered at the begginning of the second semester by using classroom referral and their grades in the classroom. If the students are successful in working at or above grade level, the students may be able to discontinue Title I services and a student with a greater need would then be served.

Any questions concerning Title I services or eligibility should be referred to Amy O'Dell at 820-4203.
