Welcome to Mr. Cervantes' Web Page For questions related to the Title I program and Beyond the Bell Tutoring services, please stop by the Title I Office or call 818 673-1341. Se Habla Espanol. Beyond the Bell Program LAUSD has made a commitment that all students within our district have access to high quality, safe and supervised educational, enrichment and recreational programs that engage and inspire learning and achievement beyond the regular school day. Beyond the Bell (BTB) Branch carries that commitment by connecting students and youth to their home, school and community through a variety of programs that are provided and operated by the school district and its partner agencies before and after school and on Saturdays. Title I, Economic Impact Aid—State Compensatory Education (EIA-SCE) The purpose of Title I and EIA-SCE is to meet the educational needs of low-income children and the needs of children in local institutions for neglected or delinquent children. Participants include students who are at risk of failing, disabled, and in private schools. Compensatory education funds supplement services needed to raise the academic achievement level of K through 12 participants in basic and advanced skills. Additional support may be provided through professional development and health and guidance services. Parents of children being served have the opportunity to participate in the design and implementation of the program through activities such as developing parent policy and compacts; parent-teacher conferences; parent training and literacy; classroom volunteers, tutors, aides, etc.; the Compensatory Education Advisory Committee (CEAC); and the District Advisory Committee (DAC). The program receives federal funding from the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, and the Economic Impact Aid--State Compensatory Education (EIA-SCE). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Schoolwide Program Schoolwide Program (SWP) is the reform effort of Title I. A schoolwide program school may use its Title I, Part A, funds coupled with other educational funds to upgrade the school's entire educational program, rather than to target services only on identified children. By affecting the entire program of instruction, the overall education of children in the most impoverished schools can be improved. For schools opting to become schoolwide programs, schools have expanded flexibility and support. The emphasis on schoolwide programs responds to a solid research base about what makes schools work for disadvantaged students. Repeated findings show that: All children’s performance is negatively affected in schools with high concentration of poverty; For the lowest achieving students in the highest poverty schools to meet high standards of performance, their instructional program, not just a separate Title I program, must be substantially improved; Educators in highly successful schools expect high academic achievement from every child; and When an entire school is the target of change, schools serving the most disadvantaged youth can achieve success. These provisions enable a school to integrate regular and categorical programs into a coherent program for all students. The SWP becomes the school's overall reform effort. Schools are accountable for the academic achievement of all students under this reform effort, but especially low-achieving students.
