Title 1 has very specific rules. it is reserved for the lowest achieving, highest poverty schools. Schools in more affluent areas usually have parent groups that raise funds for various items.
teachers who have not worked at both types of schools are usually shocked when they switch. Yes, you are going to have to get creative - the money is just not there for you.
grants, parent groups, scrambling..

Sounds like Ohio. The state supreme court ruled 4 times that the way the schools were funded was illegal. The elected offcials decided they would ignore the rulings (throwing more money at the schools won't fix them, let's test the kids more, that'll do it). I know if I ignored a court ruling, I'd be put in jail, but I guess elected officials are different. I was a presenter at a state conference once and my school district told me I would have to take a day without pay to go. (I didn't), I complained enough that I was at least able to take a personal day to "showcase" my district and students. Teaching isn't fair, neither is the funding.
Individual public schools are not allowed to (the district must) but individual teachers can!
Get your own grant, find a credentialled teacher you can pay from that grant money to take your place temporarily and go to Cancun for that seminar.
I knew a high school public school teacher who got a $10,000 grant to buy photogrpahic equipment.
I sold it all to him!
