Title I Programs and Schools
What is Title I?
Title I, Part A is a federally funded program established under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and reauthorized through the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Title I provides additional resources to school districts and schools to help ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education and the support needed to meet Arizona’s academic standards.
Federal Title I funding is distributed to states and school districts based primarily on the number of students from economically disadvantaged households. School districts use these funds to provide supplemental academic programs, instructional support, resources, and services designed to increase student achievement and help close achievement and opportunity gaps.

Schoolwide and Targeted Assistance Programs
A Schoolwide Title I Program allows a school to use Title I funds to improve the overall educational program for all students while placing particular emphasis on students who are at risk of not meeting academic standards.
A Targeted Assistance Title I Program provides supplemental services specifically to students who have been identified as having the greatest academic need. Title I funds at targeted assistance schools are used to provide additional academic support beyond the services available through the school’s regular educational program.

Through responsible stewardship of federal resources, the District is committed to ensuring that Title I funding supplements existing educational programs and provides additional opportunities that help students achieve academic success and prepare for their future.
