equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a
high-quality education and reach, at a minimum,
proficiency on challenging state academic
achievement standards and state academic
assessments

Purpose of Title I

• Title I Part A is a federal program providing
  supplemental resources to Local Educational
  Agencies (LEAs) i.e., school districts, assisting
  students in poverty to meet challenging state
  academic standards.
• In order to access these funds, schools must have
  a poverty threshold of at least 40 based on free
  and reduced lunch applications and/or Calworks.
• Schools that rank into Title I deliver
  supplemental services through a targeted
  assistance (TAS) program or a schoolwide program
  (SWP) model.

Supplemental Funds

• Supplemental funds are over and above the general
  revenue funds the districts and schools receive
  to support the base program.
• They are funds which are granted to districts and
  to schools for specific program purposes and must
  be used only to support and enhance the
  districts and schools regular program.
• Supplemental funds may not be used to replace or
  supplant the funds and programs the district
  provides the schools.
