What is Title I?
Title I provides federal funding for schools
to help students who are identified as most at risk of failing to meet the
State’s academic achievement standards.
Funding is based on the number of low-income children in a school, which
is generally determined by the number of students eligible for the free or
reduced lunch program. Title I is
intended to supplement, not replace, state and district funds.
Title I funding may be used for direct or
indirect services. Indirect support may
come in the form of professional development for teachers and assistants or
curriculum, supplies and materials for Title I programs. Students who receive
direct services are determined by a specified set of criteria. |
