What is title 1?
What is title 1?
Title 1 is the largest federal aid program for public schools in the United States. Today, Title 1 is part of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) but originated from the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) as part of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s “War on Poverty”. This landmark educational bill, passed during Johnson’s “Great Society”, changed the funding of school districts from a local level to a national responsibility.
Title 1 provides federal funds to schools with high percentages of low-income students. These funds pay for extra educational services to help at-risk students achieve and succeed regardless of any disadvantages through no fault of their own.
Title I is a federal entitlement program that gives funds to schools in need based on student enrollment, the free and reduced lunch percentage for each school, and other informative data. The US Department of Education distributes Title 1 funds to State Departments of Education that, in turn, distribute the funds to individual school districts. Each school district divides its funding among qualifying schools based on their numbers of low-income children. In addition, under Title 1, participating school districts must provide supplemental educational services for eligible private school students.
Nationwide, some 50,000 public schools (14.9 million or 64% of students) from preschool to high school receive Title 1 funds. However, most of the students served through Title 1 are in grades 1-6, while another 12% are in preschool and kindergarten. An astounding 58% of all public schools in the US receive Title 1 funding.

¿Qué es el título 1?
El Título 1 es el programa de ayuda federal más grande para escuelas públicas en los Estados Unidos. Hoy en día, el Título 1 es parte de la Ley Que Ningún Niño se Quede Atrás de 2001 (NCLB), pero se originó a partir de la Ley de Educación Primaria y Secundaria de 1965 (ESEA) como parte de la “Guerra contra la Pobreza” del Presidente Lyndon B. Johnson. Este histórico proyecto de ley educativo, aprobado durante la “Gran Sociedad” de Johnson, cambió la financiación de los distritos escolares de un nivel local a una responsabilidad nacional. El Título 1 proporciona fondos federales a escuelas con altos porcentajes de estudiantes de bajos ingresos. Estos fondos pagan servicios educativos adicionales para ayudar a los estudiantes en riesgo a lograr y tener éxito independientemente de cualquier desventaja que no sea culpa suya.
El Título I es un programa federal de derechos que otorga fondos a las escuelas necesitadas en función de la inscripción de los estudiantes, el porcentaje de almuerzo gratuito o reducido para cada escuela y otros datos informativos. El Departamento de Educación de EE. UU. distribuye fondos del Título 1 a los Departamentos de Educación estatales que, a su vez, distribuyen los fondos a distritos escolares individuales. Cada distrito escolar divide sus fondos entre las escuelas que califican según el número de niños de bajos ingresos. Además, según el Título 1, los distritos escolares participantes deben proporcionar servicios educativos suplementarios para los estudiantes de escuelas privadas elegibles.
A nivel nacional, unas 50.000 escuelas públicas (14,9 millones o el 64% de los estudiantes) desde preescolar hasta secundaria reciben fondos del Título 1. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los estudiantes atendidos a través del Título 1 están en los grados 1 a 6, mientras que otro 12% está en preescolar y jardín de infantes. Un sorprendente 58% de todas las escuelas públicas de Estados Unidos reciben financiación del Título 1. (-por Becky L. Spivey, M.Ed)
