Title I

What is Title I, Part A?

• Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) is the largest federally funded education program that provides financial assistance to local school systems based on free and reduced-price meals (FARMs) and Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) data. The CCPS Title I program provides additional academic support and learning opportunities, so students have the opportunity to receive a high-quality education and reach proficiency on challenging state academic standards and assessments.
• Family Engagement: Schools receiving Title I funds are required to have a Home-School Compact and Family Engagement Plan. This document illustrates the shared responsibility for student achievement between the school, student, and home. It is distributed and discussed during Open House, at parent-teacher conferences, and at the Annual Title I Meeting in the spring. Copies are always available on the school's website, in the Family Resource Center, and through our family liaison. If this document does not meet your satisfaction, please complete a Feedback Form. 

Title I Program Models

• Schoolwide I Programs: Schoolwide programs allow for all students and families in high poverty school zones to be eligible for Title I services. Title I schoolwide programs are based on a comprehensive plan of academic support that detail how all instruction, assessment resources, and teachers that have met state licensure and certification requirements support the academic achievement of all students.
   
• Targeted Assistance Programs: In a Title I Targeted Assistance program, all instruction, resources, and staff focus on improving the academic achievement of an identified group of students and families.
