How District will Spend Homeless Set Aside

Title I funds may provide a wide variety of services to homeless students. In addition to providing services to assist homeless students in meeting the State’s challenging academic achievement standards, Title I funds may be used to provide services that may not ordinarily be provided to other Title I students. For example, to help homeless students effectively take advantage of educational opportunities, an LEA may use Title I funds to provide, where appropriate, items or services including, but not limited to:

· Clothing that is necessary to meet a school’s dress or uniform requirement

· Clothing and shoes necessary to participate in physical education classes

· Student fees that are necessary to participate in the general education program

· Personal school supplies such as backpacks and notebooks

· Birth certificates necessary to enroll

· Immunizations

· Medical and dental services

· Eyeglasses and hearing aids

· Counseling services to address anxiety related to homelessness that is impeding learning

· Outreach services to students living in shelters, motels, and other temporary residences

· Extended learning time (before and after school, Saturday classes, summer school) to compensate for lack of quiet time for homework in shelters or other overcrowded living conditions

· Tutoring services, especially in shelters or other locations where homeless students live

· Parental involvement specifically oriented to reaching out to parents of homeless students

· Fees for AB and IB testing

· Fees for SAT/ACT testing

· GED testing for school-age students
