The purpose of Title I is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and state academic assessments.

The Title I, Part A grant is comprised of two sections:  Individual school allocations and district set-aside activities.

 One Vision...One Mission...One Common Purpose:  Student Achievement

Our Mission:

What is Title I?
Title I is the largest federal assistance program.
