Title Programs
The federal Every Student Succeeds Act, or ESSA, puts into place several laws pertaining to student education.
Several of these federal Title programs apply to our school district:
Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local Education Agency (Title I Part A)
Title I, Part A (Title I) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESEA) provides financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools with high numbers or high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards. Federal funds are currently allocated through four statutory formulas that are based primarily on census poverty estimates and the cost of education in each state.
