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, LAUSD schools must have a poverty threshold of at least 50% based on free- and reduced price meal applications and/or CalWORKS. Schools that rank into Title I deliver supplemental services through a targeted assistance (TAS) program or a schoolwide program (SWP) model. Federal and State Education Programs Branch 3
