What is Title I?
Title I is a federal grant program that 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 at risk of failing to meet the state’s challenging performance standards, most specifically in Math or English/Language-Arts. North College Hill Elementary and Middle School both receive Title I funding.
What will Title I programs do for my child?
