What is Title I?

• Title I is the largest federal assistance program for schools.
• Title I schools and districts receive funds based upon the percentage of students qualifying to receive free or reduced price school meals.
• Title I has the goal of ensuring that all children have access to quality instruction and resources that will enable them to meet state academic standards.
• Title I helps parents and families to be more involved in their child’s education.
• Central Gwinnett High School has a schoolwide Title I program, meaning all students, families and staff can benefit from Title I funds.

Title I funds can be used to:

• Hire teachers
• Provide supplemental professional learning for teachers
• Purchase supplemental instructional materials
• Improve curriculum
• Enhance family engagement
• Extend learning time for students who need extra help
• Provide other activities that are tied to raising student achievement on the State’s academic achievement standards
