Title I is a federally funded program designed to provided all students with the opportunity to succeed.  The program serves millions of students in public, private and parochial schools.  The goal of Title I is a high-quality education for every child.  Those children who are furthest from meeting the state's standards are provided with extra help.  The school must submit a yearly application for funding.  The Title I school works with the local education agency to:

*identify students most in need of educational help (students do NOT have to be from low income families to be helped)

*set goals for improvement

*measure student progress

*develop programs that add to regular classroom instruction

*try to involve parents in all aspect of the program.
