Welcome to Title I
What is Title I?
Title I, Part A, Section 1116 of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) provides financial assistance to state and local educational agencies to meet the needs of at-risk children. The purpose of Title I is to assist schools in improving student achievement, staff development, and parental involvement by providing all children with the opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education, and to close educational achievement gaps. (Sec. 1001) The goal of Title I is to provide instructional services and activities which support students in meeting the state’s challenging performance standards.
How does Title I benefit our students?
Our school participates in a Title I Schoolwide Program, which means all students benefit from Title I funds. Through Title I funding, our school is able to provide:
- Additional highly-qualified staff
- Additional instructional materials, supplies, and technology for our students
- Supplemental staff development opportunities
- Support to our families through a parent and family engagement program
Title I also allows for our parents to be informed and involved in educational decisions that impact their students.
