Title I, Part A provides supplemental resources to local educational agencies (LEAs) to help schools with high concentrations of students from low-income families provide high-quality education that will enable all children to meet the challenging state academic standards.  

Title I Schoolwide campuses are served in rank order of low-income percentage, with a formula based, per pupil allocation.

The intended program is for students who experience difficulties with the state academic achievement standards.  Each Title I campus completes a comprehensive needs assessment each year. The CNA is then used to review and revise their campus improvement plan with input from parents, community members, teachers, principals and other school leaders, so that all students are provided opportunities to meet the challenging State academic standards.
