Title I records (GRS-1480)

Description

These files document participation in the federally funded Title I program in accordance with 34 CFR 200 (1997). Title I is designed to be a supplemental funding source which provides additional, or supplemental educational opportunities to students from "low-income or economically disadvantaged families." These funds cannot be substituted for, or used in place of, other monies such as state and local funds to pay for student's basic education. Title I funds go to a district's poorest schools but excess funds may be used to help any low-achieving student, not just those from economically disadvantaged families. Title I funds are designed to assist with school reform and to improve the quality of student educational opportunities.
