What is Title One?
Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA/ESSA) provides financial assistance to states and school districts to meet the needs of educationally at-risk students. The goal of Title I is to provide extra instructional services and activities which support students identified as most at risk of failing the state’s challenging performance standards in mathematics and reading.
