Title I

What is Title I?

Title I is a federal program under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) as reauthorized by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). Title I covers the fiscal and program requirements for improving the academic achievement of students who attend schools eligible for Title I. The purpose of Title I is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at minimum, proficiency on challenging State academic achievement standards and state academic assessments. 

First, the federal government provides funding to each state.

Then, State Educational Agencies send this money to school districts.  The amount of money each school receives is determined by the number of low-income students attending the school.

Finally, Title I schools identify the students who need the most educational assistance based on the criteria established by our school district.  Students do NOT have to be from low-income families to receive Title I services.

The Title I program will provide your child with extra educational assistance beyond the regular classroom. The Lyndhurst Public School Title I program provide supplementary instruction in the areas of reading and math.

Our district has a student selection process in place, which uses objective, uniformly applied criteria to all students to determine which students are most in need of Title I services.  Parents are informed if their child is eligible and are given the opportunity to accept or decline services.

Each district that receives Title I, Part A funds must develop a written parental involvement policy that establishes a district's expectations for parent involvement. Please find links to Lyndhurst Public Schools communications regarding parent involvement below.
