schoolwide program, why must all paraprofessionals meet NCLB requirements?
In a schoolwide program, Title I, Part A funds are used to support programs and services for all students, not only designated high-poverty, low-achieving students. In a schoolwide Title I school, any student enrolled in the school is a “Title I student.” This also means that all instructional staff are working with Title I students and must meet NCLB’s requirements for highly qualified teachers and paraprofessionals.
