What is the Title I Program?
Title I is the largest federal aid program for elementary, middle, and high schools. Through Title I, the federal government gives money to school districts around the country based on the number of at-risk students in each district. The purpose of Title I is to ensure that all children have a fair and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education.
Title I is based on three important ideas:
All students should work toward the same high standards.
Local districts, schools, and parents know best what their students need to succeed.
Parents are partners in helping all students achieve.
Benefits of being a Title I School: The main benefit of being a Title I School is that the school receives additional funding in order to provide extra educational services for its students.
How we use our Title I Funds: Title I schools have a choice as to how they set up their Title I program as long as the program helps its students meet state academic standards.
