What is Title I?
Title
I is the largest federal aid program for
elementary, middle, and high schools. It serves millions of children in
elementary and secondary schools each year. Through Title I, the Federal
government gives money to school districts around the country based on the
number of low-income families in each district. Each district uses its Title I
money for extra educational services for children who are experiencing
difficulty with reading and/or mathematics in order that they may be successful
in the regular classroom.
