Empower Education Leaders With Flexible Budgeting Strategies

As ESSER funds phase out, education leaders face the challenge of sustaining critical literacy support for at-risk and low-income students. Title I funding presents a flexible, powerful tool that many school leaders may not be fully utilizing to its full potential. By strategically tapping into Title I, educators can bridge essential literacy gaps and continue to bolster student outcomes.

Lexia’s comprehensive guide empowers district leaders with a step-by-step approach to maximize Title I resources. This includes assessing student needs, aligning supplemental programs with local funding, and ensuring compliance with Title I guidelines. The guide emphasizes the importance of integrating proven programs such as Lexia® Core5® Reading, Lexia® PowerUp Literacy®, and Lexia English Language Development™. These programs are designed to meet Title I requirements, offering robust, data-driven insights and ongoing assessments that inform instruction and accurately track student progress.

District leaders are encouraged to collaborate and strategically “braid” Title I funds with other financial resources, creating an optimized support network for literacy and language development. This proactive approach ensures that school leaders maintain equity in education and empower educators to meet diverse student needs. For practical tips and expert insights on effectively leveraging Title I funding, this Executive Digest and companion blog post offer strategies that strengthen literacy programs and support sustainable, long-term student achievement.
