What is Title I?

Title I provides support through resources and research-based training, enabling schools to develop high quality, enriched programs that meet the individual needs of all children, families, and staff. Title I is a federally funded program designed to improve achievement at schools with a high percentage of students eligible for free and reduced priced lunches.  Brevard County Public Schools allocates Title I funds to qualifying schools based on direct certification data.
