Title I
What Is Title I?
Title I began with the passage of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965. The ESEA was the first major federal school aid initiative and a key component of President Johnson's War on Poverty. The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) was signed into law December 2015, and reauthorizes ESEA.
Title I was implemented to provide support to disadvantaged children who are failing or at most risk of failing to meet grade-level academic standards. Title I funding is provided to support school reform efforts to improve academic achievement for students.
Annual Open Meeting -
The Annual Open Meeting is a required component of a school’s Title I Parent and Family Engagement Plan. Each year, Title I schools must hold this meeting within the first month of the new school year to inform parents and families about the school’s Title I program. During the meeting, families learn about the school’s participation in Title I, the requirements of the program, and their rights to be involved in their child’s education. The goal is to encourage active family engagement, foster collaboration between home and school, and ensure that parents have opportunities to contribute to planning, implementation, and evaluation of the Title I program.
