| Eligibility for Title I Supplemental Grants |
| Who is eligible for Title I Supplemental Grants? |
Eligible districts have Title I schools that:
| 1) have been identified for improvement, or |
| 2) have missed adequate yearly progress (AYP), or |
| 3) were otherwise identified as high-need in a Department of Public Instruction (DPI) review of their distance from the 2014 annual measurable objectives (AMO) on the reading and mathematics portions of the Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Examinations (WKCE). |
The DPI will notify those districts that are eligible for this grant. |
| Grant Funds |
| When will my district receive its Title I Supplemental Grant funds? |
All Title I Supplemental Grant Applications will be reviewed by a minimum of two DPI staff members using the reviewer rubric found in the grant guidelines. The grant guidelines are available at http://dpi.wi.gov/ssos/pdf/supgrant_inst.pdf. The DPI will make every effort to award grants to the districts immediately following grant approvals. |
| How is the amount of money given to my district determined? |
| A funding formula was used, involving a fixed per-pupil amount plus additional funds for the number of English Language Learner (ELL) students and low-income students. The enrollment numbers used were derived from the year prior to the grant period. |

| Who do I contact if I need help completing the grant application? |
