Title 1-A
The Basics of Title 1 Schools-This program, which is now the pillar of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act(ESEA), is our oldest and largest federally funded education program, according to the U.S. Department of Education. It dates from 1965 and its main purpose has been to help underprivileged children meet challenging state academic standards. In other words, schools with a student base that are lower-income are provided with title 1 funding in order to help those who are behind or at risk of falling behind, aiming to bridge the gap between low-income students and other students.The financial assistance is provided through state educational agencies (SEAs) to local educational agencies (LEAs) and public schools.
The Purpose of Title 1 Schools- There are thousands of title 1 schools nationwide and they provide students with extra instructional support beyond the regular classroom to help low-achieving children meet state standards in core academic subjects. They coordinate and integrate resources and services from federal, state, and local sources. To be considered for title 1 school funds, at least 40% of the students must be considered low-income.
Project Impact STEM Academy receives Title I funds. Title I funds are used to provide Parent and Community Involvement Activities/Education, additional assistants and for training and materials with the goal of improving student reading and math skills.
