Title 1

Title I - General Information
Title I is the largest federal assistance program for our nation's schools. The goal of Title I is to provide a high-quality education for every child. This program provides extra help for at-risk students. The federal government provides funding to states. States send money to school districts based on the poverty indexes. Title I serves children through schoolwide programs and targeted assistance programs. Programs may offer smaller classes, additional teachers and assistants, additional training for school staff, extra time for instruction, a variety of teaching methods and materials, counseling and mentoring, and/or career and college awareness.
