Title I Program Overview
Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) is a federally funded program designed to assist schools with high numbers or percentages of children from low-income families. The primary goal of Title I is to ensure that all students meet rigorous state academic standards by providing schools with the resources necessary to support student learning and close achievement gaps.
