Federal Programs
Title I, Part A, Academic Achievement
Title I is the largest federal assistance program for
our nation’s schools. The goal of Title I is to provide
a higher quality of education for every child. The Title
I program serves millions of children in elementary and
secondary schools each year. The federal government
provides funding to the states each year for Title I.
The state educational agencies then send the money to
qualifying school districts. The local school district
identifies eligible schools and provides those schools
with funds for supplementing the education of their
students.
Towns County Schools qualify for Title I based on a
system wide percentage of almost 60% of our students who
are eligible for free or reduced meals at school. Towns
County students are served by Title I in all three
schools. Towns County Elementary School and Towns County
Middle School have a Schoolwide Program. Students in
Towns County High are served through a Targeted
Assistance Program.
Title I funds can be used to provide additional teachers
and paraprofessionals, additional training for school
staff, extra time for instruction, teaching materials
for content subject area and parent involvement
activities.
