Title I-A
Title I-A is a federal education program under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). This program provides financial assistance to schools with high numbers or high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards. The U.S. Department of Education provides Title I funds to states to give to school districts based on the number of children from low-income families in each district.
The majority of Title I-A funds are passed on to Title I-A schools to support the hiring of instructional assistants. In addition, Title I-A funds are used to support supplementary activities such as: program administrative support, District Mc-Kinney Vento Liaison, Parent Involvement Coordinator, parent involvement activities, instructional coaches, and more.
