Federal Education Programs

What is Title I?

  Title I is the largest federal education program supported through the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965.  Schools are identified for Title I support based on the socio economic status of the students that attend. Regulations require that schools involve a team of stakeholders, including staff, parents, and community members in determining how funds are best used to meet the needs of a school. Title I schools are held accountable for and support student achievement, school improvement, staff development, and family engagement.

It is the mission of the IEP team to collaborate and support individuals with disabilities in the general education program to the maximum extent appropriate.
