Title I
Title I
Most educators, parents, and community members have heard the term Title I School thrown loosely around, but what is it? Title I is the nation's oldest and largest federally funded program, according to the U.S. Department of Education.
Title 1, Part A
Title I, Part A of the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 was originally written to improve educational opportunities for low-income students. The current re-authorization of the law, the Every Student Succeeds Act, provides supplemental resources so that all students, especially those who are struggling academically, receive the supports needed to successfully learn grade-level skills.
Both federal and state laws govern eligibility to receive Title I funding and specify how the funds are allocated to eligible schools and programs. Eligible schools receive differing levels of Title I support based on the percentage of economically disadvantaged students at the school. In the 2025-2026 school year, 15 elementary schools, five middle schools, three special centers, one charter school, and 14 non-public schools in Seminole County will receive supplemental resources through Title I, Part A.
What is the purpose of Title I funding?
According to the U.S. Department of Education, the purpose of Title I funding, “is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and state academic assessments."
How are Title I funds used?
Title I funds can be used to improve curriculum, make available instructional activities, provide counseling services, increase parental involvement, increase staff, and support program improvement. In summary, Title I funds provide services and educational programs to help students achieve. For more information please see our Title I Infographic for Expenditures.
