Title 1 Program Walters

Title 1 or Title I

Title I is a federal grant which provides federal funding to schools, under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), to help students who are behind academically, or at risk of falling behind. The funds for each school district are based on a State formula that is calculated by the number of students from economically disadvantaged homes. Title I services provided with federal funds are based on the academic needs of students.

Title I is intended to supplement, not replace, state and district funds. Selection is based on the free and reduced-price meal count.
