What is Title I?

Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) provides financial assistance to schools to meet the needs of academically at-risk students. The goal of Title I is to provide extra instructional services and activities which support students identified as failing or most at risk of failing the state’s challenging performance standards in mathematics, reading, and writing.

A Title I school wide program is a comprehensive program used to upgrade the complete educational program in a Title 1 school thus raising academic achievement for all the students.

Your children will benefit directly or indirectly from this extra help. At Adams these funds along with other federal resources will be consolidated to support school wide positive changes.

Funds can be used to:

· Hire highly qualified instructional personnel to assist teachers within the classrooms

· Provide training for staff and teachers

· Provide supplemental instructional materials and technology

· Ensure high-quality School wide Programs

· Increase parent involvement participation

We are pleased to have these funds to provide high quality instruction for all children.
