    What is Title One?

    • Authorized by the No Child Left Behind Act (but began with the passage of the Elementary and Secondary Act of 1965)
    • Intention to help ensure that all children have the opportunity to obtain a high quality education and reach grade-level proficiency

    • Only used to help students reach proficiency in academic students:  English Language Arts and Mathematics
    • Never replaces what all other students receive (is supplemental to the regular program)

    How is Title One School Funding Determined?

    •  It is a federal entitlement program (non-competitive formula)
    • Allocated on the basis of student enrollment for ages 5-17, census poverty levels, and other data.
    • The U.S. Department of Education distributes these funds to State Education Agencies that in turn, distribute the funds to Local Education Agencies or school districts.
    • Local school districts allocate the funds to qualifying schools based on the number of poor children in a school.
