Title I
Title I is a federal program that provides supplemental funds to ensure that children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach proficiency on challenging State academic achievement standards and state academic assessments. The intent of Title I funding is to meet the educational needs of low-achieving students enrolled in the highest poverty schools and to close the achievement gap between high- and low-performing children. Title I funding is based on the percentage of students who qualify for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP).In Redlands Unified School District, Title I is a Kindergarten through 12th grade program, and funds for this program are based on a per pupil amount for each student who qualifies for the NSLP enrolled at the school:- Elementary schools with a NSLP percentage of 30% and higher are eligible for Title I
- Middle schools with a NSLP percentage of 70% and higher are eligible for Title I
- High schools with a NSLP percentage of 75% and higher are eligible for Title I.
