The Title I, Part A program is designed to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and achieve, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and assessments. The program's goal is accomplished by providing supplemental funding for educational programs to Title I, Part A schools, which have a high percentage of students living in poverty. Title I, Part A also includes provisions to engage parents in the education process, which helps schools and parents share accountability for high student achievement.
