What is Title I?
Title I is the largest federally funded education program in the nation. Recently re-authorized by The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, Title I funding helps local school systems provide equal educational opportunities for low-performing students with economic need. Any school with 35% or more students on free or reduced lunch is eligible for Title I funds. The goal of Title I is to assist students in achieving grade level standards in the area of reading. Title I is committed to the shared effort of closing the achievement gap between all students in Catawba County Schools and to providing high quality, engaging instruction that will motivate students to become lifelong readers and learners.
