What is Title I?

Title I is a section of federal education law that provides funding to elementary and secondary schools for programs and services to help disadvantaged students succeed. Title I is the largest federal aid program available to elementary and secondary schools. In some cases, Title I allows parents to get free tutoring and other supplemental educational services for their child.

Where did Title I come from?

Title I is part of the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act adopted in 1965. It was renewed in the No Child Left Behind Act of 2002.

What is Title I supposed to do?

Title I is supposed to ensure that all students have an equal opportunity to reach state content standards. Title I is intended to help close the gap in academic achievement between students in different ethnic and income groups. Title I is also designed to ensure that schools and school districts are accountable for good teaching, and provide families with meaningful opportunities to participate in their children’s education.
