About Title I

Title I is a federal program that provides funds to school districts and schools with high numbers or high percentages of children who are disadvantaged to support a variety of services. Its overall purpose is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and assessments. The grant contains provisions for ensuring that children who are disadvantaged enrolled in private schools also benefit from the academic enrichment services funded with Title I, Part A funds.

Please visit the New Jersey Department of Education website for further information regarding the Office of Title I.

• Identify students most in need of educational help

• Measure student progress using state and local assessments

• Set goals for improvement

• Implement research-based instructional programs that supplement regular classroom instruction

• Improve professional knowledge and skills through continuing education

• Hire additional teachers and support staff

• Involve parents in the various aspects of the the school's Title I program
