Title I Defined: “Title I…provides financial assistance to states and school districts to meet the needs of educationally at-risk students.  The goal of Title I is to provide extra instructional services and activities which support students identified as failing or most at risk of failing the state’s challenging performance standards in mathematics, reading, and writing.

What will Title I do for my child?  The Title I program will provide your student with extra educational assistance beyond the regular classroom.  These services may come in the form of inclusion (within the classroom) extra services, pull-out as one-on-one, or in some form of a small group setting.

How does our school receive Title I funding? 

*The federal government provides funding to each state.

*The State Educational Agency sends money to its school districts.

            --The amount of money is determined by the number of low-income

              students attending that school.
