TITLE I, Part A Supporting Basic Programs Operated by Local Educational Agencies
Purpose
The goal of this program is to provide financial assistance to LEAs and schools with high numbers or percentages of children from low-income households to help ensure all children meet state academic standards. Funds are allocated through 4 statutory formulas based primarily on census poverty records. Unless a participating school is operating a school-wide program (available to schools where children from low-income families make up at least 40% of enrollment), the school must focus services on children who are failing or most at risk of failing to meet state academic standards. A “proportionate share” of funds must be available to eligible children enrolled in private schools.
Audience
SEAs, LEAs, schools (public and private), students receive funding by formula involving poverty and population. Eligible schools enrolling >40% of children from low income families eligible to use funds for schoolwide programs. Eligible schools enrolling <40% or that decline school-wide programs can offer targeted assistance to individual students.
