Title I
Our school is fortunate to receive supplemental funding through Title I, a federal grant program
for schools that serve communities with high numbers of students who are directly certified for
free meals. The federal legislation that establishes Title I regulations is known as the Every Student
Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA). ESSA requires Montgomery County Public Schools to inform you
that you have the right to request information about the professional licensure qualifications of
your child’s teacher, long-term substitute teacher, or paraeducator.
If you wish to request licensure information about your child’s teacher, paraeducator, or
long-term substitute teacher, please submit a written request to the principal at your school. Your
written inquiry may include information about the following qualifications:
• Degree status and subject area of licensure.
• State of Maryland licensure status, including conditional licensure status.
• Qualifications of paraeducators or long-term substitute teachers who may be working with
your student.
Your request will be forwarded to the Department of Talent Acquisition, and you will receive a
written response from that office within thirty (30) business days.
Please contact the principal if you have any questions.

About the Northeast Consortium Cluster
White Oak is one of five middle schools that are a part of the Northeast Consortium. The Northeast Consortium began as a response to student assignment issues. As a result, the three high schools were affiliated into a consortium to serve the attendance and educational interests of all the students populating the northeast area.
How the Consortium Works
A departure from the traditional student assignment practice, student attendance at the three high schools is not restricted by an inflexible boundary. Instead, students and their parents participate in a practice known as "preferred choice" in which each 8th grade student ranks his/her order of preference for a high school from among the three choices. Each of the schools offers an outstanding comprehensive high school program for every student as well as a distinctive "Signature Program". The signature program is a common theme that runs throughout the entire school curriculum, such as technology, sciences, or the arts.
