Title I Program Helps Deerfield Beach Students Achieve More

Deerfield Beach students from low-income families will benefit from resources provided through the federally funded Title I program. The initiative aims to ensure equitable access to high-quality education and improve academic outcomes.

The Title I, Part A Program, administered by The School Board of Broward County, directs essential resources to schools with a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students. These resources fund additional teachers, professional development for educators, extended instructional time and supplementary activities to directly support student achievement.

The program's goal is to bridge the achievement gap often correlated with poverty, ensuring all students can master Florida Standards and prepare for their futures.

Quiet Waters Elementary operates under a Title I Schoolwide program model, granting all students access to the program's benefits. Initiatives include parent and family engagement activities jointly developed by district staff and parents or guardians. These plans outline engagement strategies and evaluate past programs.

Parents and guardians can request specific information about their child's teachers and paraprofessionals. This includes details on Florida Department of Education licensing and qualification criteria for teachers, any waivers in place, their college specializations and the qualifications of paraprofessionals. Information on student achievement levels in state academic assessments is also available. Parents should contact their school's Title I Coordinator for inquiries.
