Title I Program
The Title I program receives federal funding from the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA/Title I, No Child Left Behind Act of 2001).  Title I funds are allocated to schools based on poverty percentages on the annual Title I ranking.  These percentages are determined by the number of low-income students, aged 5 to 17, enrolled on CBEDS day who qualify for free- or reduced-price meals or CALWORKS.  The intent of Title I program is to meet the educational needs of children in low-income households and children in local institutions for neglected or delinquent children.  Participants include students who are at risk of failing, disabled, and English Learners.  The Title I program supplements services needed to raise the academic achievement level of kindergarten through grade 12 participants in basic and advanced skills.
