ESEA – Elementary and Secondary Education Act

Title I provides financial assistance to local educational agencies, public and charter, to meet the needs of educationally disadvantaged children at preschool, elementary, and secondary school levels.

Title I is the largest source of federal funds to education. We receive Title I funds based on the number of low-income families that reside within the district as determined by the US Census.

The purpose of Title I programs is to help all students succeed in reading and mathematics.

This is accomplished through supplemental programs that consist of instructional services, instructional support services, school wide reform efforts, and increased involvement of parents in their children’s education.

Supplanting Rule: Title Funds must be used for services above and beyond the typical services provided to every school. The district cannot replace an existing service with Title funding.
