Title I
Title I is a compensatory program funded by an annual grant from the federal government. Schools are selected to receive Title I funding based on criteria established by the New Hampshire Department of Education, including U.S. Census data and the percentage of students eligible for the Free and Reduced-Price Lunch Program within the district.
Students are selected for Title I services based on their performance on school-wide reading and math assessments. They are provided reading and math instruction, designed to supplement, not replace, the regular classroom experience.
Title I funds are used to hire additional personnel, and to purchase educational resources that will help students reach their individual goals. The Hudson School District operates a targeted program which provides instruction in small groups. For the 2026-27 school year, the following schools have targeted Title I programs: Library Street School, Dr. H.O. Smith School, and Nottingham West Elementary School.
The local programs are overseen by a Title I Coordinator, who is responsible for developing the grant and ensuring effective program design, implementation, and instructional support.
Key Components of the Title I Program
Supplementary services must be in addition to the instruction of the classroom teacher.
- Supplemental Instruction — Title I math and reading services provide additional targeted support to strengthen specific skills and do not take time away from core classroom instruction.
- Coordination — Supplementary instruction is systematic and designed to address students’ individual skill gaps. It is designed for reinforcement, reteaching, or remediation of skills taught in the regular classroom to ensure student success.
- Communication — The Title I program is based on collaboration and communication among Title I teachers, classroom teachers, school interventionists, and other specialists.
- Parent Involvement — Parents receive progress reports on their children, information with suggestions for helping their child, and are invited to school-based information activities.
