8 What Are Title 1 Funds?  In 1965, The U.S. Congress passed the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). The most recent reauthorization occurred in December The law was renamed the “No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) and signed into law by President Bush in January The Obama administration has returned to calling the law ESEA.  The focus of Title 1 is on improving the academic achievement of children attending schools with high levels of low-income families and who need additional help to meet rigorous academic performance standards.

9 Schoolwide Program Schools (SWP) Versus Targeted Assistance Schools (TAS) Schoolwide Program Schools:  The school’s Title 1 funds are coordinated with other funds to implement reforms to upgrade the entire educational program of the school in order to improve the overall academic achievement of ALL children in the school. All students are Title 1 participants and all parents are considered Title 1 Parents. Schoolwide programs must make provisions to meet the needs of students who are at-risk of failing to achieve state standards. Targeted Assistance Schools:  Title 1 funds must be used only to benefit specific children identified as being at-risk of failing to achieve state standards. These students receive supplementary Title 1 services (after school, staff support) and specific staff are funded by Title 1 to provide instructional support to these children. In a TAS school, “Title 1 Parent” means a parent whose child is participating in the Title 1 program.
