What is Title 1?
(Link to Title 1 Website)
Title I is a federally
funded program for economically disadvantaged children who reside in
school attendance areas with a high concentration of children from low
income families. Since a high incidence of poverty in a school has a
direct correlation with low academic student achievement, Title I funds
are used to provide supplementary instruction to raise the achievement
of students who are failing to meet the challenging state standards.
Title I funded personnel are instructional or support staff who directly
contribute to the education of children and parents.
In FY11 a projected 141,866 students in 170 public and charter schools will receive Title I services.
Purpose Of The Title I Program
The purpose of Title I
is to support school efforts to ensure that all children meet
challenging academic standards and have a fair, equal, and significant
opportunity to obtain a high-quality education. This purpose can be
accomplished by providing additional resources for high poverty schools
to enhance educational opportunities for disadvantaged students.
Parent Involvement
The Title 1 program for parents is designed to:
a) Inform parents about Title 1 regulations;
b) Offer parents training in schools and the community on ways to work with their children at home to raise student achievement
c) Involve parents in local Title 1 decisions
d) provide literacy training
