Title 1

Introduction

Title I is a Federal program authorized through the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.  It provides financial assistance to schools based on percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure all children meet challenging state academic standards. 

Purpose of Title I

The primary purpose of Title I funding is to provide financial assistance to schools and school districts to help them meet the educational needs of all students. Title I aims to bridge the gap in educational achievement between disadvantaged students and their peers by providing support in key areas, including:

• Instructional Support

• Professional Development

• Parental Involvement

• Supplementary Programs

Allocation of Funds

Title I funds are allocated based on the number of low-income students enrolled in each school. Funding allocation is determined by ensuring there are sufficient funds to carry out a viable program in each school.  Brookside Elementary, Memorial Elementary, and Woodland Elementary are all School-Wide Title 1 Programs in Milford Public Schools.  School-Wide programs indicate that 40% or more of the students are from low-income families and Title 1 Funds can support all students within the school.
