  • Title I


    What Is A Title I School:
    Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) targets federal funds to high-poverty communities to provide compensatory educational services to low-achieving students. These funds are distributed by a poverty-based formula to approximately 90 percent of the school districts in the nation.

    Parent involvement has always been an integral part of Title I. Under the new Law, No Child Left Behind, one of the new purposes of Title I is to ensure that funds are used to promote parent involvement. Parents should take full advantage of the opportunities for involvement that the law provides.

    The policy must be, developed jointly with and agreed on by parents, written in an understandable format and provided in a language parents can understand, and distributed to all parents.
