Title I

What is Title I?

Title I is a federally funded program that helps ensure all students have the opportunity to achieve academic success. It provides additional support in reading, math, and other areas for students who need it most.

Title I is part of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and is designed to provide extra resources to schools to support student learning. It helps close achievement gaps and ensures that all students meet challenging state academic standards.

Our Schools’ Title I Programs

Schoolwide Programs:

• Learn strategies to support learning at home.

• Provide input on school improvement plans and programs.

School-Parent Compact:
All Title I schools have a compact outlining responsibilities for students, parents, and schools to work together to improve student learning.
