32. NCLB and Title I Schools PURPOSE of Title I In 2001, the federal government passed the NCLB Act which provided identified schools with federal funds for the purpose of supplementing the instructional program of schools to ensure a high quality education for students that would help them meet the state standard (currently STAAR – State of Texas Assessment for Academic Readiness). These “supplemental” federal funds are used to:  Accelerate instruction for struggling students,  Provide professional-development for teachers and paraprofessionals,  Hire highly qualified personnel,  Give additional resources – technology, personnel, materials, instructional programs, software, and  Encourage parent and family involvement.
