Maxine Johnson Elementary School and Parma Middle School have Schoolwide Title 1 Status. 

In a Schoolwide Program, the needs of ALL students are addressed.  Reform strategies are incorporated into the overall instructional program for the purpose of meeting the needs of all the students in the school, which includes those children who are low-achieving and at-risk and includes providing advanced academic achievement to students who are beyond proficient.  Schoolwide Programs include activities to ensure that students who experience difficulty attaining the proficient or advanced levels of academic achievement standards are provided with effective, timely, additional support.

In a Schoolwide Program, all core academic teachers must meet highly qualified teacher (HQT) requirements, and all instructional paraprofessionals must meet the professional qualification requirements.  Core academic teachers and instructional paraprofessionals who do not meet these requirements must immediately be reassigned.  

Program evaluation of Schoolwide status requires an annual evaluation of the Schoolwide Program using data--including the State's annual assessment data--to determine whether the Schoolwide Program has been effective in increasing achievement of students in meeting State standards, and must then revise the plan, based on the evaluation, to ensure continuous improvement of student achievement.

Idaho's K-12 Report Card

Idaho’s K-12 Report Card provides information required by federal laws implementing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and current state law. It is designed to ensure public accountability for the state’s K-12 public schools.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”) is a federal law that prohibits sex-based

discrimination in all educational programs and activities, including athletic programs.  No person shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity operated by the district.  Title IX protects all participants in the district’s educational programs and activities, including students, parents, employees and job applicants.  The district does not discriminate on the basis of sex in its education programs and activities.  As used in this policy and accompanying Title IX grievance procedures (see Policy 296P1), sex discrimination includes complaints of sexual harassment or sexual violence.
