What is Title I?
Title I, part A, provides supplemental federal funds from the Department of Education to schools to ensure that all students have fair, equal, and significant opportunities to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at minimum, proficiency in challenging state academic achievement standards and state academic assessments. The program is governed by statuary and regulatory requirements of Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
Joseph Ferderbar 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.
