Title I

Title I is one of the federal funding streams that supplements how much money each state allocates for schools. Title I was created to ensure economically disadvantaged children receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education, by helping to close academic achievement gaps.

Title I is the largest federal aid program for public schools in the United States and is part of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) but originated from the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA). Title I provides federal funds to schools with high percentages of low-income students. These funds pay for extra educational services to help at risk students achieve and succeed regardless of any disadvantages through no fault of their own.

Schools receiving Title I money to support a school-wide program may use their funds to improve student achievement throughout their entire school; therefore every child benefits from the added services and programs, not just the students identified as eligible to participate. All of the school staff focuses on upgrading the entire educational program and improving the achievement of all students, in particular, the low-achieving ones. A school improvement plan must be developed and implemented with the involvement of parents, teachers, principals, and administrators.
