What is Title I?
The purpose of Title I, Part A is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and assessments. Title I focuses on high-poverty, low achieving students. Title I requires that local school districts ensure that all Title I teachers in core academic subjects hired after the first day of the 2002-03 school year are “highly qualified” as defined by each state.
How do schools use Title I funding?
Schools may use Title I funds for one of two approaches:
- School-wide programs: High-poverty schools (those with 40% or more students from low-income families) are eligible to adopt school-wide programs, thus using Title I funds to serve all children.
- Targeted assistance programs: Schools that are not eligible for, or do not choose to operate, school-wide programs must use Title I funds to provide targeted services to specified low achieving students.
What activities are funded by Title I?
Title I provides flexible funding that may be used for:
- Additional instructional staff
- Reading programs that are proven effective by scientifically based research
- Math programs that are proven effective by scientifically based research
- Professional development
- Extended-time programs
- Other strategies for raising student achievement in high-poverty schools
