Help make Schoolwide Title I a Success
What is Title I?
It is a federal program to help all students get a good education and meet academic standards.
Title I helps schools as a whole. Title I programs allow eligible schools to use Title I money to pay for educational programs for the whole school. All students can benefit from programs that can help improve your child's education. Students can also benefit programs like
