What is Title I?

• Title I is a federal aid program for schools. The goal of Title I is to ensure a high-quality education for every child, by providing extra help to students who need it most.

• Title I funds are distributed to districts and individual schools based on the number of low-income families served. However, once a school qualifies for Title I funds, academic need, not economic status, determines which students receive extra services. Academic criteria is used to determine which students will receive additional assistance through these funds.

Title I has three primary objectives:

• to improve student achievement
• to improve staff development
• to improve parental and community involvement
