Title I
Title I, Part A – Education for Disadvantaged Youth Title I, Part A (Title I) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended, provides financial assistance to districts and schools with high numbers or high percentages of children from low-income families to ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards.
United States Department of Education information on Title I, Part A is available here.
Title I School Improvement Grant - School Improvement Grants are authorized under section 1003(g) of Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (Title I or ESEA). State educational agencies use these to make competitive subgrants to those school districts that demonstrate the greatest need and the strongest commitment to substantially raise the achievement of students in the lowest-performing schools.
USDOE information SIG is available here.
Title I, Part C – Migrant Education Funds support high-quality education programs for migratory children and help ensure that those children who move between states are not penalized in anyway by disparities among states in curriculum, graduation requirements, or state academic content and student academic achievement standards. Funds also ensure that migratory children not only are provided with appropriate education services (including supportive services) that address their special needs, but also that those children receive full and appropriate opportunities to meet the same challenging state academic content and student academic achievement standards that all children are expected to meet. Federal funds are allocated by formula to state educational agencies, based on each state’s per pupil expenditure for education and counts of eligible migratory children, ages 3 through 21, who live within the state.
USDOE information on Title I, Part C is available here.
Title I, Part D – Neglected and Delinquent The Part D, Subpart 1, State Agency Neglected and Delinquent (N and D) program provides formula grants to state educational agencies for supplemental educational services to help provide educational continuity for children and youth in state-run institutions for juveniles and in adult correctional institutions, so that these youth can make successful transitions to school or employment, once they are released. Funds are allocated by a formula to state educational agencies, which make subgrants to the state agencies responsible for educating neglected or delinquent children and youth. To be eligible for state Neglected and Delinquent funds, juvenile institutions must provide 20 hours a week of instruction from non-federal funds; adult correctional institutions must provide 15 hours of instruction. The Subpart 2 Local Education Agency Program requires each state educational agency to reserve funds from its Title I, Part A allocation, generated by the number of children in locally operated institutions for delinquent youth. Funds are awarded to school districts with high proportions of youth in local correctional facilities to support dropout prevention programs for at-risk youths.
