Tool Search: Title 1
Title 1 is reported for every student and is a mandatory state reporting field for Massachusetts. This article will explain how you can enter Title 1 data school-wide or for individual students.
School-Wide Title 1 Setup
Schools should use this option if every student in the school should report with the same Title 1 value. If there are any students within the school which need to report a different Title 1 value, you should NOT do this process as the school-wide Title 1 setting takes precedence over student-specific Title 1 settings.
