Title I

• What is a Title I ?

  Title 1 funds aim to bridge the gap between low-income students and other students. The U.S. Department of Education provides supplemental funding to local school districts to meet the needs of at-risk and low-income students.

  Title I, Part A, is a federally funded program that provides resources and opportunities to improve the academic achievement of economically disadvantaged students. Title I ensures that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education based on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR).
