Title I, Part A – Improving Basic Programs Operated By Local Educational Agencies—of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015, provides supplemental funding to state and local educational agencies to acquire additional education resources at schools serving high concentrations of students from low-income homes. These resources are used to improve the quality of education programs and ensure students from low-income families have opportunities to meet challenging state assessments.
Title I, Part A schools implement either a Schoolwide program or a Targeted Assistance program. Both Title I, Part A models — Schoolwide and Targeted Assistance — use evidence-based methods and instructional strategies.
Education of Migratory Children
The purpose of the Migrant Education Program (MEP) is to ensure migrant children receive a quality education. We support school districts in helping to ensure migrant students overcome the challenges of mobility, cultural and language barriers, social isolation, and other difficulties associated with a migratory lifestyle. These efforts are aimed at helping migrant students reach challenging academic standards and graduate with a high school diploma (or complete a GED) that prepares them for responsible citizenship, further learning, and productive employment.
Title I, Part D, Subparts 1 and 2 establish the Prevention and Intervention Programs for Children and Youth Who Are Neglected, Delinquent, or At Risk. This law provides supplemental funding to state and local educational agencies as a part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). These funds are dedicated to improving educational services to children in facilities for the neglected or delinquent.

Preparing, training, and recruiting high-quality teachers, principals, or other school leaders

Improve academic outcomes by maintaining safe and healthy students
Improve the use of technology to advance student academic achievement
