Trenton Public Schools outlines Title 1A supports, asks parents to complete survey
Summary
At the Trenton Public School District’s May 9, 2026, Title One parent meeting, the Office of Grants and Funded Programs reviewed Title 1A goals, explained schoolwide vs. targeted support, described services such as extended learning and multilingual supports, and asked families to complete a QR parent survey.
A representative from the Office of Grants and Funded Programs for the Trenton Public School District opened the district’s annual Title One parent meeting on May 9, 2026, and outlined how Title 1A funds support school improvement and student equity.
The presenter said Title 1A is “part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, revised by the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015,” and described the program’s focus on improving basic programs and supporting identified schools. “Title One aims for equity by ensuring all children, regardless of background, have access to a high-quality education and can meet challenging academic standards,” the presenter said.
Officials explained that Title 1A services are delivered either as schoolwide programs that support all students through a district or school plan or as targeted assistance for specific students. The presenter listed common Title 1A activities mentioned at the meeting: additional instructional resources, staff professional development, extended-day and summer-learning programs, monitoring of school improvement plans, and supports for multilingual learners.
The meeting emphasized parent and guardian roles in Title 1A planning. Parents were told they can provide input on school improvement plans, participate in ongoing communication, and review the parent involvement policy and school parent compact. Attendees were directed to contact their child’s principal or the Office of Grants and Funded Programs for details; the presenter named Anna Musk as the grants development manager for follow-up.
To gather parent feedback, the presenter asked families to complete the Title One parent survey by scanning a QR code displayed during the meeting and provided the district grants email for inquiries (grants@trenton.k12.nj.us). The presentation was informational only; no motions or formal votes were recorded.
For more information, parents were instructed to contact their child’s school principal or the Office of Grants and Funded Programs.
