What is Title I?
Title I, Part A funds provide supplemental funding to support educators in improving the academic achievement of students who are economically and educationally disadvantaged. The United States Department of Education awards Title I, Part A funds to state education agencies (SEAs), which subgrant funds to local education agencies (LEAs) on a federal formula based on the US Census Bureau counts of school-age children from low-income families residing in each district.
The Title I, Part A division at the Georgia Department of Education provides technical assistance, resources, and program monitoring to local education agencies (LEAs) in order to ensure all children have a “significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education, and to close educational achievement gaps" (ESSA, Section 1001).
What is a National Title I Distinguished School?
The National ESEA Distinguished Schools Program is a project of NAESPA that publicly recognizes qualifying federally-funded schools for positive educational advances and the outstanding academic achievement of their students.
Established in 1996, the program showcases hundreds of schools identified by the State Education Agency for their success in one of three categories:
- CATEGORY 1 - Schools exhibiting exceptional student performance and academic growth
- CATEGORY 2 - Schools that have closed the achievement gap between student groups
- CATEGORY 3 - Schools that show excellence in serving special populations of students (e.g. homeless, migrant, English learners, etc.)
