Palm Bay Elementary School is a Title I school. Title I, Part A is a federal program under the Every Student Succeeds Act that provides financial assistance to schools with high percentages of children from low-income families, helping ensure all students meet state academic standards.

Principal Attestation

The principal of a Title I school must complete an attestation confirming the school complies with highly qualified teacher and paraprofessional requirements. The attestation is maintained at the school office and the district office and is available to any member of the public upon request. To review the attestation, please ask at the school office.

Title I Schoolwide Plan

Each year, Title I schools create a School Improvement Plan (SIP) to support student academic achievement. The plan describes how the school will work to:

  • Improve student academic performance in reading, writing, mathematics, and science.
  • Support parents in helping their child.

A hard copy of the plan is available at the school office. To make comments or request a copy, contact Loretta Mistrot at (850) 767-4354.
