Title I
The Title I program is a federally funded program authorized under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) as reauthorized by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
Title I funds are allocated to Local Education Agencies (LEAs) based on the number of children living in a household with low income in each LEA as determined by federal census data.
Note: an LEA is a public school district or county office of education.
Title I funds are used to supplement and improve educational programs at Title I schools by implementing effective, research-based educational strategies that enable students to meet the state’s challenging academic standards. Title I-funded schools operate either a Title I Targeted Assistance School (TAS) Program or a Schoolwide Program (SWP). All SDUHSD Title I schools operate a Schoolwide Program with the goal of elevating the educational program of the entire school.
For more information about Title I Schoolwide Programs, please see the California Department of Education's website (https://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/sw/t1/schoolwideprograms.asp).
