Overview
Title I Overview
Title I is a federally funded program under the No Child Left
Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001. The law, which
was signed into effect on January 8, 2002, amends the Elementary
and Secondary Act of 1965 (ESEA), and replaces the Improving
America's Schools Act of 1994. The act contains four basic
principles: stronger accountability for results, increased
flexibility and local control, more choices for parents and
students, and an emphasis on research-based instructional
strategies.
The purpose of the Title I program is to help low-achieving
students meet our state's challenging academic content and
performance standards. Schools qualify for Title I funds based on
economic need. The Title I program offers a variety of services for
participating schools, which may include: additional teachers and
support staff, extra time for instruction, a variety of teaching
methods and materials, smaller classes and additional training for
staff.
