What is Title I?
Title I is a federally funded program that provides financial assistance to school districts to improve educational opportunities for educationally deprived children. Title I programs are designed to help children meet the state content and performance standards in language arts and mathematics (Pennsylvania Department of Education, 2022).
Tawanka Elementary School is a Schoolwide Title I school. As such, our Title I funds and services can provide comprehensive strategies for improving the entire school so that every student achieves high levels of academic proficiency.
