What is Title 1?

It is the largest fund of money from the federal government through the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB).

Money is sent to the state to distribute to districts following formulas provided by the U.S. Department of Education.

Allocations are determined by the district’s Census Poverty Count. PLEASE fill out your Free & Reduced Lunch application regardless if you think you’ll qualify.

The funds are to be used to provide service to students who are not meeting the school and district’s academic standards.

Title 1 Programs are either targeted or school wide. We are school wide.

The programs and services MUST be supplemental; the district cannot use the money to pay for its basic obligations.
