What is Title I?

Title I is the largest federally funded educational program, and it provides financial assistance to high-poverty schools. Title I programs place emphasis on building relationships between school and families, and on improving student achievement. The purpose of Title I is to provide opportunities for all children to meet the challenging state performance standards. 

Sue Cleveland 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. We use high-quality academic assessments for accountability, focus on teacher preparation and training, make curriculum and instructional materials available for teachers and students, and support the success of all students.  

Some of the ways that Title I funding is spent at Sue Cleveland are as follows:

• Smaller class sizes in 2nd and 3rd Grade

• Supplies and supplemental classroom resources

• Additional teacher training

• Additional staff to assist teachers and parents

• Family engagement events

• Instructional technology and software
