Title I Overview
Title I Overview
Title I is the largest federally funded educational program. The program provides financial assistance to local schools with high percentages of children from low-income families. The purpose of Title I is to provide opportunities for all children to meet the challenging state performance standards. In addition to ensuring that every child receives a quality education, Title I programs also place emphasis on building relationships between school and families.
Berea Elementary School proudly receives Title I funds to help ensure our students find academic success. We use our Title I funds to provide accelerated and enriched academic initiatives to students while also stressing parental involvement in the total school program.

What Role Do Parents Play?
What Role Do Parents Play?
Parental involvement is a critical component of Title I legislation. Schools receiving Title I funding are obligated to implement programs, activities, and procedures for the involvement of parents in school-related programs. Schools may also provide opportunities for parents to increase their knowledge and skills related to their children’s education. Such programs, activities, and procedures must be planned and implemented after meaningful consultation with parents of participating children.
