Title I
Title I Overview
Purpose
Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESEA) provides financial assistance to districts and schools with high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards.
This purpose is accomplished by such efforts as:
providing an enriched and accelerated educational program;
promoting schoolwide reform through schoolwide programs or through additional services that increase the amount and quality of instructional time;
significantly upgrading the quality of instruction by providing staff in participating schools with substantial opportunities for professional development; and
affording parents meaningful opportunities to participate in the education of their children at home and at school.
