Title I is a federally funded program that is one component of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015. The WCPSS Title I Department provides financial assistance and program support to schools with high numbers of children from low-income families.
All Title I eligible schools in WCPSS operate under the schoolwide model. Title I funds may be used, along with other school funding sources, to provide resources and instructional support to help all children meet challenging academic standards.
Title I/ Blended pre-kindergarten classes are designed to deliver developmentally appropriate experiences for eligible 4-year-old children to ensure successful entry into kindergarten. The program emphasizes a child-centered environment that promotes learning through exploration and discovery.
