Title I

This program focuses on promoting school-wide reform in high-poverty schools and ensuring students' access to scientifically- based instructional strategies and challenging academic content.

Title I provisions provide a mechanism for holding states, school districts, and schools accountable for improving the academic achievement of all students and turning around low-performing schools, while providing alternatives to students in such schools to enable those students to receive a high-quality education.

Title I funds must be used in addition to District and State funds.

All of the services students would receive in the absence of Title I must be in place before Title I funds are used.
