What does it mean to be a Title I school?

Posted by:

Being a Title I school means receiving federal funding (Title I dollars) to supplement the school’s existing programs.  These dollars are used for:

  • Identifying students experiencing academic difficulties and providing timely assistance to help these students meet the State’s challenging content standards.
  • Purchasing supplemental staff/programs/materials/supplies
  • Conducting parent and family engagement meetings/trainings/activities

Being a Title I school also means parent and family involvement and knowing their rights under ESSA.
