Title I

Title I Program Overview

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, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and state academic assessments. A school is eligible to receive Title I, Part A funds when the percentage of low-income children residing within a school's attendance area is equal to or greater than the average district-wide percentage.

ESSA divides Title I into five parts:

  • Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local Education Agencies (LEAs)
  • State Assessment Grants
  • Education of Migrant Children
  • Prevention & Intervention Programs for Children and Youth Who are Neglected, Delinquent, or At-Risk
  • Flexibility for Equitable Per-Pupil Funding
