schools alphabetically.
Process for Determining School Eligibility
A list of eligible schools is compiled once a year using low-income (economically disadvantaged) data collected during the Fall Enrollment/October 1 Count. Schools that meet the criteria listed below will automatically be added to the Teacher Cancellation Low Income (TCLI) Directory each year. Utah’s list of qualifying schools is updated by February of each year. However, if a school is erroneously omitted from the directory, the Utah State Board of Education will submit an amended list to the Office of Federal Student Aid for consideration.
Criteria for Inclusion in the TCLI Directory
- The school must be a public or private nonprofit elementary or secondary school. Elementary school or secondary school means a public or private nonprofit school that provides elementary education or secondary education (grades K-12) as determined by Utah State law;
- The number of children enrolled in a school who are counted under Section 1124(c) of the ESEA (federal definition of poverty) must exceed 30.01 percent of the total enrollment of that school (K-12 enrollment only); and
- The school must be in a Local Educational Agency that is eligible to receive Title I funding.
