What is Title I?Title I (pronounced "Title One") is the largest federal aid program for elementary, middle, and high schools. Through Title I, the Federal government gives money to school districts around the country based on the number of low-income families in each district. Each district uses its Title I money for extra educational services for children who are behind in school. You may know Title I by its old name, Chapter 1. But the new Title I is different. It is based on three important ideas: 1. All students should work toward the same high standards. Title I's job is to provide help to students who need it to make sure they reach the same standards as everyone else in their school or district. Standards describe what students should know and be able to do at each grade level. Schools cannot have different standards for Title I students compared to other students. 2. Local districts, schools, and parents know best what their students need to succeed. Title I allows them to decide how to use Title I money to help students who are behind. 3. Parents are partners in helping all students achieve. Parents have the right to be involved in the design and operation of their school's Title I program. At the same time, parents have a responsibility to help their children succeed in school.
