What is a Title I School
What is a Title I School?
By: Minnesota Parental Information and Resource Center (MN PIRC)
Title I is a federal funding program. It is part of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) It affects students who are behind academically or at risk of falling behind. Title I funding is based on the number of low-income children in a school. Its purpose is to be sure that all children have the opportunity to obtain a high-quality education. More than 50,000 public schools in the U.S. receive Title I funds. Your school principal can tell you if your child's school is Title I.
These funds provide academic support and learning opportunities for children. The funds are used to help children meet state standards in core academic subjects and participate in regular school work. For example, Title I funds can be used to support extra instruction in reading and mathematics. They may also be used to provide special preschool, after-school and summer programs.
