  3. Title I Goals • All students should work toward the same high standards. • Local districts, schools, and parents know best what their students need to succeed. • Parents are partners in helping all students achieve.

  4. “Title I” is short for “Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Act of 1965, reauthorized by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. • The only schools that receive Title I funds are those having 40% or more of their children identified as low income (students who receive free or reduced meals).

  5. Currently, 51% of Park Hall students are considered to be low income because they receive free or reduced price meals. • Because Park Hall Elementary School operates a schoolwide Title I program, the Title I funds provided to Park Hall are used to support and improve the instructional program for all Park Hall students, not just those who receive free or reduced price meals.
