Title I

Title I is a federal program based upon the income levels of families whose children attend public and some private and charter schools.  The program ensures that students are equipped to meet high standards of academic performance.  

Schoolwide Title I programs use funds to provide interventions, additional instructional time, and enrichment opportunities during the school day, and increased professional development for staff members. After reviewing the beginning-of-the-year assessment data, we determine the children who could benefit from extra support or enrichment in reading skills and strategies. If your child is at a Title I school and will receive reading services, you will be notified. 

Please see the important information regarding those KCSD schools that have qualified as Title I Schools for the 2025 - 2026 School Year.

More Information About Title I 

Please review these materials for more information about Title I, Part A (Title I) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESEA) that provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education, and to close educational achievement gaps by allocating federal funds for education programs and services.
