Title I — Improving Basic Programs

Title I is designed to ensure that all children have the opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach proficiency on challenging state academic standards and assessments. Title I provides formula grants to school districts, which then allocate funds to individual Title I schools based on the poverty statistics of their students.

What Will It Fund?

Title I funds may be used for a variety of services and activities, most commonly for instruction in reading and mathematics. The legislation encourages the use of strategies such as extended day (before- and after-school programs), extended year, and summer programs to increase learning time.

Title I provides flexible funding that may be used to provide additional instructional staff, professional development, extended-time programs, and other strategies for raising student achievement. The program promotes school-wide reform in high-poverty schools to ensure students' access to scientifically based instructional strategies and challenging academic content.

Who is Eligible?

High-need schools and districts

Funding Level

Funding is allocated on a per student level based on number of children eligible for free and reduced lunches. Contact your local district office or state department of education to determine the size of your school's individual allocation.
