The Title I, Part A program helps students in high poverty schools meet the same high academic standards expected of all children. Title I, Part A funding is distributed to districts primarily based on poverty as determined by the US Census Bureau. Title I, Part A funds are used to address students' academic needs. For school year 2024-2025, Santa Fe Public Schools has twenty-one schools participating in school-wide Title I programs.

In compliance with the Every Student Succeeds Act, Title I Part A, SFPS provides a Title I Parent Policy available here.

Additionally, each school works with parent teams to develop a school-level Parent & Family Engagement school compact and policies. Please visit your school's webpage or talk with the principal to learn more.

The purpose of the Title II, Part A program is to increase academic achievement by improving teacher and principal quality. This program is carried out by:

• increasing the number of high qualified teachers in classrooms

• increasing the number of highly qualified principals and assistant principals in schools

• increasing the effectiveness of teachers and principals by holding school districts and schools

• accountability for improvements in student academic achievement 

Title IV, Part A focuses on well-rounded educational opportunities for students. Through this program, the Office of Student Wellness programs provide social-emotional support for at-risk students; and through the Office of Teaching and Learning, Title IV provides College and Career and STEM programs.

Santa Fe Public Schools will be participating in funding provided under the American Relief Plan Act, Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Funds (ESSER III). These funds support SFPS's response to pandemic-related needs and will support students and families to make up for any learning loss caused by the pandemic.
