Title I is a federal program that serves schools throughout
the United States. The Title I program was reauthorized under
the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The purpose of this legislation
is "to help the neediest schools and students reach the
same challenging standards expected of all children." (Public
Law 107-110)
The Title I program provides extra help to students to assist
them in meeting state and local education standards. The program
serves millions of children in elementary and secondary schools
each year. Most school districts participate. Funds are directed
to schools with the highest poverty levels, measured by the
number of students receiving free and reduced-price lunch.
