Title I

What is Title I?

Title I is a federally funded program that is a part of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Title I funds seek to ensure that all children receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. These federal funds are distributed to school systems primarily based on Census Poverty Estimates. Currently, BCPS determines eligibility if elementary schools have a poverty rate at or above 60.7%, and if middle schools have a rate of or above 69.93%. (Determined by State Reported Data on children receiving services such as ~SNAP, TANF, Medicaid, Homelessness, Foster Care and Migrancy)
