Title I is a federal program that provides money to schools and districts to help them ensure all children have an equal opportunity to get a high-quality education and achieve proficiency on our state’s academic standards and assessments.
We are required to use Title I funding to improve the academic achievement of all students and engage YOU, our families, in that process!
