Title I Program
What is Title I?
Title I is a federally funded educational program designed to supplement state and local funds for education. The purpose of the Title I Program is to help students succeed in the regular classroom by assisting in the development of basic and advanced skills in Reading and Mathematics. A school qualifies for Title I funds based on the number of students at that school who are approved for free or reduced lunch. Once the program is established, it is available to all students in the school, based on their educational needs.
Eligible students will receive additional instructional time in Reading and/or Math throughout the school week. Title I teachers work closely with classroom teachers to provide support and supplemental instruction to help meet the needs of each student.
