What is Title I?
Title I is….

quality education for every
child.

The Federal Government
provides funding
to states each
year for Title I.
State Educational Agencies
send money to school
districts based on the
number of low-income
families.
The Local School Department
(called a “Local Education
Agency” or LEA) identifies
eligible schools– thoses with
the highest percentage of
children from low-income
families – and provides Title I
resources.
The Title I School
Works with the LEA to:
• identify students most in need
of educational help (students
do not have to be from lowincome families to be helped.
• set goals for improvement.
• measure student progress.
• develop programs that add to
regular classroom instruction.
• try to involve parents in all
aspects of the program.
Title I programs generally offer:
• Smaller classes
• Additional teachers and
assistants
• Additional training of
school staff
• Extra time for instruction
• A variety of teaching
methods and materials
• Counseling and mentoring
Title I Serves Children
• in schools with a high
percentage of children from
low-income families, schoolwide Title I programs serving all
children may be developed.
• other schools will work a plan
and program to make sure
children served by Title I meet
the same high-quality standard
of performance.
• Notice of Title 1 School Status is
provided in the BRS handbook
The School’s Title I
program is reviewed
each year by
administrators, teachers
and parents. If goals have
not been met, the plans
must be revised.
