TITLE I OFFICE
Title 1 of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (formerly known as ECIA,
ESEA or Chapter 1) is the largest federally funded educational program. This
program, authorized by Congress, provides supplemental funds to school
districts to assist schools with the highest student concentrations of poverty to
meet school educational goals. Schools qualify for Title I based on
demonstrating that the enrollment of the school has a sufficiently high
percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Title 1 funds must be used to promote:
1.
High academic/achievement for all children;
2.
A greater focus on teaching and learning;
3.
Flexibility to stimulate local initiatives coupled with responsibility
for student performance;
4.
Improved linkages among schools, parents and communities.
