Title I

What Is Title I?

Title I is the largest federal grant program used to ensure that all children have a fair and equal opportunity to obtain a high quality education. Title I is a part of the Federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act that was passed in 1965.  This grant provides extra academic support and learning opportunities for children who are most at-risk of failing state and local standards.  

How Does Title I Help My School? 

Title I funds are supplemental funds that provide additional instruction time and resources for students what are not meeting grade-level academic benchmarks.  Title I funds may also be used for professional development, teacher training, and parental involvement activities.   

What Types of Services are Provided? 

Services are determined by the school district and Title I schools, and are in addition to what is already being provided.  The Title I programming must be supported by scientifically or evidence-based research.  Noblesville Schools' Title I program focused on literacy in grades K-3.
