  3. What is Title I? “…is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high quality education, and to close educational achievement gaps.” Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Title I, Part A provides supplemental federal funds to help meet the educational needs of low-achieving students in the highest-poverty schools. In order to access Title I funds, schools must have a poverty threshold of at least 40% based on free- or reduced-price meal applications. Schools that rank into Title I deliver supplemental services through a targeted assistance (TAS) program or develop a comprehensive school-wide plan under the schoolwide program (SWP) model. 3
