Creekview ELEMENTARY IS A TITLE I SCHOOL

WHAT IS TITLE I?

Title I is a federal education program under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965 reauthorized as No Child Left Behind (NCLB) in 2001.

The financial assistance provided through Title I funding is determined by the percentage of low-income families, which is calculated through the annual qualifying free and reduced lunch applications. 

• The funding is used towards staff that work in interventions and extensions. It also provides resources for reading and math.

Title I is based on three important ideas:

• All students should have a fair, equal and significant opportunity to obtain a high quality education and to reach, at minimum, proficiency on state academic standards and objectives.

• Local districts, schools and parents know best what their students need to succeed. The Title I program allows them to decide how to use these funds to implement evidence-based practices to help students who are failing or who are at risk of failing in school.

• Parents are partners in helping all students achieve. They have the right to participate in their school’s Title I program, and a responsibility to help their children succeed in school.
