Title 1
Title I Program Overview
Title I is a federally funded program under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), designed to provide financial assistance to schools with high numbers or high percentages of children from low-income families. The goal is to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards.
Key Points:
-
Purpose: To improve academic achievement and close the achievement gap for disadvantaged students.
-
Eligibility: Schools qualify based on the percentage of students from low-income families, typically measured by eligibility for free or reduced-price lunch.
-
Funding Use: Funds can be used for extra instructional support, tutoring, after-school programs, professional development for teachers, parental involvement activities, and supplemental educational resources.
-
Program Types:
-
Schoolwide Programs: Schools with at least 40% of students from low-income families can use Title I funds to improve the entire school.
-
Targeted Assistance Programs: Schools with fewer eligible students can target Title I services specifically to those who are failing or at risk of failing.
-
-
Parental Involvement: Title I requires meaningful parental engagement and encourages schools to foster strong family-school partnerships.
