Title I

Title I Program Overview

Title I schools must have the entire School Improvement Plan translated into the language(s) of parents of enrolled students. Translated School Improvement Plans must be placed in the campus’s Title I bin as well as made available in the front office. Although it is “best practice” to have the CIP’s available in all languages (as spoken by the parents represented at your campus), the External Funding Department highly suggests that where there is at least 10% of any parent population who speak such language(s), the document must be translated into those languages.

Purpose of Title I, Part A

The purpose of Title I, Part A is to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards, regardless of economic status. Title I is the government's attempt to provide all children with the opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education, and to close the achievement gap.

ESSA divides Title I into five parts:

Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local Education Agencies (LEAs)
State Assessment Grants
Education of Migrant Children
Prevention & Intervention Programs for Children and Youth Who are Neglected, Delinquent, or At-Risk
Flexibility for Equitable Per-Pupil Funding
