Title 1

Title I helps students, teachers, and parents!

What is Title I?

Through Title I, money is given to school districts around the country based on the number of low-income families in each district. Each district uses its Title I money for extra educational services for children most in need of educational help. The focus of the Title I program is on helping all students meet the same high standards expected of all children. Title I is the largest federally funded program for elementary, middle, and high schools.

Title I programs can help:

• Children do better in school and feel better about themselves

• Teachers understand the needs and concerns of students and parents

• Parents understand their child and be more involved in the child’s education
