What Is Title I?

Title I is a federally funded program under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).  Schoolwide programs are designed to generate high levels of academic achievement for all students, especially those most in need of additional support. All staff, resources, and classes are part of the schoolwide program, and it serves all the children in a school. As part of the Title I legislation, schools, and families form partnerships to help students who need support in meeting high academic standards.
