Title I 

Title I is the major component of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), passed in 1965 as part of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s War on Poverty.  Congress has reauthorized the Act numerous times since its enactment, making changes in focus each time. The current reauthorization of ESEA is the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), signed into law by President Barack Obama on December 10, 2015. 

Title I funding flows from the U.S. Department of Education (as appropriated by Congress) to the Florida Department of Education (FDOE), which then allocates funds to Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS). The District adheres to Federal ESSA law mandates to ensure that Title I Schoolwide Program funding is provided directly  to eligible schools above the 75 percent poverty threshold.  Eligible schools spend the funds allocated based on formalized School Improvement Processes approved by M-DCPS and FDOE.

Title I is the part of ESSA that supports programs in schools and school districts to improve the learning of children from low income families. Title I is the largest federally funded education program designed to provide students with additional help in Reading, Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies.

The Title I Program is committed to helping schools close the achievement gap between disadvantaged and minority students and their peers.  This site is designed to supply users with information relevant to Title I in order to provide a clear understanding of the overall program. 

Additionally, Title I schools’ administrators and staff shall read the Title I Handbook, locate under the Resources navigation menu, in order to become familiar with all policies and procedures contained therein. It is imperative that the Supplement vs. Supplanting provision of the ESEA is observed at all times, to ensure that federal funds provide the additional educational resources that students and teachers in high-poverty schools need to succeed. Administrators are encouraged to reach out to the Department of Title I Administration, if clarification or assistance is needed.
