Through Title I, money is given to school districts around the country based on the number of low-income families in each district. Each district uses its Title I money for extra educational services for children most in need of educational help. The focus of the Title I program is on helping these students meet the same high standards expected of all children.

Title 1 programs can help:

• Children do better in school and feel better about themselves
• Teachers understand the needs and concerns of students and parents
• Parents understand their child and be more engaged in the child’s education
