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. 

Grove 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.  

Ways we use Title 1 Funding:

• Teacher salaries, including positions serving students in Challenge and Response to Intervention (RtI) and ESOL (Multi-Lingual Learners)
