Title I

Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) currently appropriates more than $14 billion in federal funds to school districts across the country.
Title I Part A is the largest and most widely recognized component of the program. Funds from Title I Part A are targeted to high-poverty school districts and used to provide supplementary educational services-usually in reading and mathematics--to students who are educationally disadvantaged or at risk of failing to meet state achievement standards. In addition to Part A, Title I has other smaller components, which include Reading First (Part B), Neglected and Delinquent Youth (Part D), and Comprehensive School Reform (Part F).
Pinellas County has 53 elementary schools that receive Title I Part A funds to supplement their core educational program.
