OUR MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Office of Federal Programs is to provide high-quality services, ensure compliance, and guarantee State and Federal grants supplement and align with the district’s mission, initiatives, and programs.
OUR PURPOSE
The Office of Federal Programs is responsible for managing the budgets and ensuring compliance of the state and federal programs; as well as organizing and managing communications with the Ohio Department of Education for State and Federal Grant programming contained within the District's Comprehensive Continuous Improvement Plan (CCIP) with the Ohio Department of Education. The largest consolidated grant managed is the Title I, Part A section of the Elementary & Secondary Education Act of 1965 as reauthorized by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
Title I, Part A provides financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools with high numbers or high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards.
The purpose of Title I is to provide all children “significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education, and to close educational achievement gaps.” To achieve that, states must develop accountability systems to identify and support schools with academically struggling students, and LEAs and schools must use their Title I funds to improve student outcomes, including academic achievement.
The Office of Federal Programs oversees public and nonpublic funds and/or programming for the following state and federal programs:
- Title I - Improving the Academic Achievement of the Disadvantaged
- Title I, Part D – Neglected and Delinquent
- Our partnering agencies for Title I, Part D are:
- Neglected Programming: Daybreak
- Delinquent Programming: Montgomery County Juvenile Detention Center
- Our partnering agencies for Title I, Part D are:
- Expanding Opportunities for Each Child
- Title II-A – Supporting Effective Instruction
- Title III – English Learners and Immigrant Children and Youth
- Title IV, Part A – Student Support and Academic Enrichment
- 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC)
- Auxiliary Services Fund (state-funded program for private schools)
- Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER)
- ESSER I

The Office of Federal Programs must also ensure that Dayton Public Schools meet the equitable service requirement for all the federal programs listed above per Sections 1120(b), 1117(a)(1) and 1117(c) of the ESEA and Section 200.63 of the Title I regulations that require timely and meaningful consultation occur between the local education agency (LEA) and private school officials prior to any decision that affects the opportunities of eligible private school children, teachers, and other educational personnel to participate in programs under ESEA.
