Title I is a federally funded program authorized under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965 as reauthorized by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The purpose is to ensure all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach minimum proficiency.

Each year, a West Geauga building(s) receives federal funding through Title I.  All teachers under Title I funding have met the criteria set forth by the program. Any request for degree major and/or field of discipline can be made at by sending a letter of request to the attention of Assistant Superintendent at 8615 Cedar Rd, Chesterland, OH 44026.
 
Parents may request the following information regarding teacher professional qualifications:

(1) Whether the teacher has met State qualification and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction

(2) Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which State qualification or licensing criteria have been waived

(3) The baccalaureate degree major of the teacher and any other graduate certification or degree held by the teacher, and the field of discipline of the certification or degree

(4) Whether the child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications.
