Each district (LEA) and charter school provides all school identification information through the Educational Directory and Demographical Information Exchange (EDDIE) application found online at http://apps.schools.nc.gov/eddie. EDDIE is kept up-to-date by subscribed users in each district or charter school.

For school-level Report Cards, EDDIE provides the current year principal’s or director’s name and email address as well as the school’s name, address, telephone number, a link to its website (when available), and the prior year grade range, school type, and calendar type.

For the district-level Report Cards, EDDIE provides the superintendent’s name and email address, the district’s name, address, telephone number, and a link to its website (when available).

For additional EDDIE information, including a list of subscribed users, see the NC Department of Public Instruction’s website http://www.ncpublicschools.org/fbs/accounting/eddie/.

Title I Status

Title I status indicates whether a school is part of the federal program that provides funding for high poverty schools to help students who are behind academically or at risk of falling behind. If a school is not considered a Title I school, then no designation will appear.

About half the schools and all school districts in North Carolina receive Title I funding. Many of the major requirements in No Child Left Behind are outlined in Title I: Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP); teacher and paraprofessional requirements; accountability; sanctions for schools designated for improvement; standards and assessments; annual state report cards; professional development; and parent involvement.

For additional Title I information, see the NC Department of Public Instruction’s Program Monitoring site http://www.ncpublicschools.org/program-monitoring/.
