What is Title I?

Title I is the largest federally funded program for schools in the United States. Its purpose is to provide all children with access to a high quality education and attain proficiency on challenging state academic standards and assessments. Title I began as part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, and it continues to provide federal funding for schools to help students who are behind academically or at risk of falling behind. Services may include hiring teachers to reduce class sizes, providing tutoring, purchasing technology, increasing parent and family engagement, facilitating professional development, purchasing supplies and materials, coordinating pre-kindergarten services, and hiring teacher assistants and other support staff. About one half of the schools in North Carolina receive Title I funding as do all of the state's school districts.  Roanoke Rapids Graded School District uses Title I funds for extra educational services for children most in need of educational help. Title I programs can help children do better in school and feel better about themselves.
