As the US Department of Education transitions from the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) to the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), all school districts that receive Title I funding are required to rewrite their Title I Plan to reflect the new guidelines and expectations of ESSA. In order to gather a wide range of feedback while creating this plan, a team of students, parents, and staff members was developed to provide input. The input gathered from this stakeholder session assisted in the development of the Title I Plan. 
We are seeking Board approval in order to submit the plan to the Illinois State Board of Education.
